Afghanistan in February 2026: the most important developments in society
In Afghanistan in February 2026, the most widely reported development in society was Germany's deportation of 20 people to the country, described as a significant move in its migration policy, and it came amid international concern about human rights under Taliban rule. Also on 26 February, the UN human rights chief said a recent Taliban decree deepens the repression of women and girls. A separate Taliban decree could bring imprisonment for Afghans who visit family members abroad without government permission, and the UN and Italy expressed concern over it. Six months after a major earthquake, 25,000 Afghan children are still living in tents.
