Kabul, July 16: Taliban's official mouthpiece, Radio Voice of Shariat has 
been launched again in southern Afghanistan.
	
	


Locals and authorities have that the broadcasting in the southern 
provinces has begun. Radio Voice of Shariat signal is available in the 
provinces of Paktia, Paktika and Khost. Taliban controlled the 
Afghanistan Radio and TV when they captured Kabul In June 1996. 
They took the TV off the air and blasted the uplink dishes. their main 
objection was the appearance of female artists on the TV which they 
declared anti-Islamic.

Broadcasting was restricted to Radio on MW and FM . Playing music 
and broadcasting female sounds was stopped. The name of the Radio 
Afghanistan was also changed to Radio Voice of Shariat. Radio Voice 
of Shariat went off the air and Radio Afghanistan regained its existence 
after September 11 when the Northern Alliance forces, backed by the 
US and the allies captured Kabul in 2001. And Radio Afghanistan 
started its broadcasting. According to localsin the southern provinces 
bordering Pakistan, the renewd Taliban programmes are heard every 
night from an unknown place on FM band, which can be heard for over 
a week. Most of their programmes are propaganda against the Karzai 
Government and international forces based in Afghanistan. Their 
propaganda calls the country 'occupied' and they encourage the people 
to fight against the Government and international forces. Parts of the 
programme are messages of Mullah Mohammad Omar, the Taliban 
leader that provokes people for Jihad.

Radio Voice of Shariat do broadcast songs, but without music, the 
same music which was heard during the times when Afghanistan was 
under their control. The songs do have music; are more provocative 
and remind the people of Taliban as a good period of their rule.

In the songs the Taliban played during their time of rule, the Northern 
Alliance was described as un-Islamic, and fighting them was called the 
holy war.

The Taliban used to distribute letters throughout the night, dropping 
them in the front of house doors, throwing them inside shops, hanging 
them on walls and especially in mosques. As long as Radio Shariat 
broadcasts, they are able to have easy access to people, and this will 
make it easier too for them to reach people and harass them. Without 
doubt they're getting more powerful day by day, now that they launched 
a mobile FM radio that makes it difficult to trace the place from where 
they are broadcasting.This, surely is just one of the signs of their 
gaining ground.
