It is to note here that the latest ban introduced by the Taliban is reminiscent of the previous Taliban rule in the late 1990s. At least two decades ago, when the movement first ruled Afghanistan, it had espoused a harsh interpretation of Islam outlawed poppy production. According to United Nations (UN), the Taliban’s countrywide ban at the time had helped fin largely eradicate poppy production.

However, when the Taliban was ousted in 2001, poppy farmers returned to their work. It is also pertinent to note that poppies are the main source of income for millions of small farmers and the day labourers in Afghanistan who can earn upwards of $300 per month harvesting them and extracting opium, stated AP. Now, Afghanistan has emerged as the world’s largest producer of opium even though the international community has invested billions in eradicating its production.
