Some jobless Afghan journalists resort to selling fruits on streets: Reports

Kabul: The Afghanistan National Journalists Union (ANJU) has raised alarm about a growing rank of jobless journalists who made futile attempts to find job in the wake of the takeover of the Taliban, saying many have since resorted to selling fruit on the streets in order to make ends meet, the TOLO News agency reported.

"Concerns regarding occupational safety, economic hardship and dozens of other issues have recently threatened the journalist community," ANJU's media officer Masroor Lutfi told the Afghan broadcaster.

On September 13, it was reported that at least 153 media outlets had to stop their work in 20 Afghan provinces in less than a month since the country's takeover by the Taliban. (UNI)
