Afghan Taliban create smartphone app to spread their message
April 5, 2016
The Afghan Taliban have created an app for Android smartphones in an attempt to connect with a wider digital audience. The app, called Alemarah, gave access to Taliban videos and statements in Pashto, but was removed from Google’s Play Store shortly after the US-based SITE Intel Group reported its launch on Friday. With their foray into smartphone apps, the Taliban are seeking to expand their presence on the digital battlefield.
