Taliban Announces Nationwide Distribution of Greater Afghanistan Maps in Schools and Madrasas

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has launched a nationwide program to distribute animated maps and illustrated booklets depicting Greater Afghanistan to students across madrasas, schools, and educational events. The materials, designed to illustrate Afghanistan’s territorial claims, include Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and other bordering regions as part of Afghanistan. Teachers are instructed to explain the concept of Greater Afghanistan and emphasize Afghanistan’s stance on territorial claims, portraying Pakistan as a central rival in this record. The program also teaches that reclaiming these regions would involve altering current control, while acknowledging the Durand Line as a boundary without accepting it as an official international border. Authorities describe the initiative as mandatory and ongoing to shape future generations' understanding of Afghanistan’s national record, with distribution already underway nationwide.
