In the northeastern province of Badakhshan, a new private newspaper titled 'Itilaat-e Shahar' has been launched. The newspaper consists of four pages and will be distributed in the provincial capital and 15 districts. It aims to cover events directly related to people's lives and improve living conditions by reflecting their voices. The staff of the newspaper includes six women and four men, with Fakhruddin Qarizada serving as the editor-in-chief. This launch is significant as it comes at a time when several media outlets have closed down since the collapse of the former government in August 2021, either due to pressure from the Taliban or financial challenges [959857ff].
