Comparing Taliban Social Media Usage by Language: Who's Speaking and What's Being Said

By Jon Niewijk, Zohan Hasan Tariq, Bradley M. Knopp

By examining Taliban leadership use of Twitter in various regional languages and in English, the authors sought to clarify messaging broadcast via this medium and to determine whether messaging in various languages was similar or different. The research focused on three areas: economic concerns, relationships with other militant groups and neighboring countries, and the status of women in Afghan society.
