Being a folk singer was never an easy gig. But these days it's not just tough. If you're an aspiring folk singer in Afghanistan you might want to consider a different career path. It's a dying profession:
"Taliban fighters have shot dead an Afghan folk singer after it outlawed music and women’s voices on television and radio in the bellwether province of Kandahar, laying the ground for a nationwide ban in an echo of the brutal Islamist regime of 20 years ago."
"Fawad Andarabi was dragged from his home and shot in the head in the village of Andarab, north of Kabul on Friday, his family said. The murder has provoked an outcry and fuelled fears of a return to the repressive regime of the 1990s since Taliban fighters overran Kabul two weeks ago."
And that business about no women's voices on radio and TV.....well given how American Karens have taken over "our" news....they MAY have a point.
But one should not be overly concerned. Surely it can't happen here. Just as the fall of Saigon could never happen again.
