The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
Recently, the Afghanistan Analytics Network (AAN), a non-profit research agency, conducted interviews with five former Taliban mujahideen (guerrilla fighters who "struggle" for Islam) who are now a part of the new government. Sabawoon Samin, a researcher at AAN, asked the Taliban members how they felt about their victory in securing control of the country. According to some members of the Taliban, they are now expressing complaints about the work-life they lead behind a desk after spending their lifetime riding horses in the countryside as jihadists. They find themselves thinking about how to pay rent and are addicted to using social media like Twitter to pass the time. One member said, "I'm happy with my job, but I often miss the time of Jihad. During that time, every minute of our life was counted as worship. We used to live among the people, but many of us have now caged ourselves in our offices and palaces, abandoning that simple life." One former fighter named Mansur also complained about the traffic in Kabul and said he was robbed of his freedom after the Taliban won.
