On Monday, barbers in the southern Helmand province were commanded by the Taliban to not shave or trim beards, claiming it to be a decree in the Sharia. The provincial Taliban government's vice and virtue department had issued the order to the barbers. Last week, four bodies were displayed in a public place who were killed after they were alleged to carry out a kidnapping in the western city of Herat.

The Taliban has been putting on a moderate image to gain the confidence of the world, however, the scenes at Kabul airport were proof that the group has returned with the same radical and violent mindset. Apart from this recent incident of killing the child, the Taliban is imposing their progressive versions of Islamic Sharia laws like they had done in their previous reign. Violence has been an integral part of the fundamentalist group and the so-called peaceful transfer of power without bloodshed was just a gimmick.
