The Taliban say order has been restored after opium protests in Afghanistan

Taliban authorities were holding meetings in Badakhshan, spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a Whatsapp message, after several days of protests in which two people were killed. Mujahid said in a separate statement that a delegation from Kabul, led by the chief of the defense staff, would travel this week to Badakhshan to investigate, a rare official acknowledgment of political unrest since the Taliban returned to power

Afghanistan’s opium poppy supply drops by 95%

Opium production in Afghanistan, once the world’s top supplier, has plummeted since the Taliban government outlawed cultivation of the drug last year, a United Nations report said on Sunday. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said opium cultivation fell across the country to just 10,800 hectares (26,700 acres) in 2023 from 233,000 hectares the previous year, reducing supply by 95% to 333 tonnes. This has put pressure on farmers in the war-torn country, where most people depend on agriculture and the value of poppy exports has at times exceeded the value of all official exports, the UNODC said.
