Neda Mohammad Nadim, the Taliban’s Minister of Higher Education, has sparked controversy by labeling mobile phones as “tools of the enemy” during a gathering in Kandahar. He urged for strict limitations on their usage within academic circles.
Addressing an audience in the southern province, Nadim specifically called for restricting students and university professors from using mobile devices. His comments highlight the widening gap between the current administration’s views and modern educational necessities dependent on digital connectivity.
These remarks have raised concerns about further isolation of Afghan educational institutions and restrictions on access to information. The statement aligns with the group’s skeptical stance towards modern technology and unmonitored communication channels.
