One has to wonder what is more barbaric, lashing someone in public or people going to a stadium to watch others get lashings. It is almost as if they deserve each other. Now what would be worth reporting is if the Taliban held a public lashing or public execution and nobody came to watch.

The Taliban are barbaric. Breaking and lying about their own promises when they took over most of the country.

just one extra thing to note -US and NATO armies have escaped from Afghanistan within days as same as US heroes run for life in Saigon some decades ago-it was just escape not any "withdrawal".better to use correct vocabulary dear journos...

People attack western intervention, invoke incidents, fair enough. Many of those have gone to trail and offenders punished Not all but a lot, Australian troops, British troops all facing jail time, even some American troops. But who? Holds the Taliban accountable? It’s not a perfect world, but it’s ok to question what is right and what is medieval.

Way to stay classy and win the hearts and minds, Taliban.

Nothing like beating people to make them love you, eh?
