Etilaatroz ( Persian/ Dari/ Hazaragi اطلاعات روز, English "Daily Information) is an Afghanistani newspaper. [1] In 2021, due to the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, the outlet moved its office to a suburb of Washington D.C. [2] Etilaatroz is known for its in-depth investigative stories exposing high-level corruption, nepotism, systematic ethnic favoritism, and discrimination against minority ethnic groups in Afghanistan's government. [3]
The Etilaatroz newspaper was founded in 2012 by Zaki Daryabi, an Afghan journalist. [4] The first edition of the outlet was printed in January 2012, but was soon shut down due to financial problems. [5] In December 2012, after securing a contract with a publishing company, Daryabi managed to bring together a team of journalists to produce content. The Etilaatroz headquarter was based in western Kabul, an area predominantly inhabited by the Hazara people. After publishing a series of stories exposing high-level corruption within the Afghanistan government, Etilaatroz was known as a newspaper that was "rattling Afghanistan's powerful". [6] [7]
In the first week of September 2021, two Etilaatroz employees were detained by the Taliban while covering a women's protest in Kabul. [8] Journalist Taqi Daryabi and photographer Neamat Naghdi were detained for 48 hours and were severely beaten. [9] [10] Both journalists appeared in front of the cameras with bruises and blood clots on their faces, back, waists, and legs. [11] [12] [13] The pair said that they were beaten with "batons, electrical cables and whips for several hours" until they passed out. [14] [15] Etilaatroz was one of multiple media outlets that struggled to survive under the Taliban, but ultimately it was forced to move out of the country. [16]
In 2020, Etilaatroz was awarded the Anti-Corruption Award by Transparency International. [17]
In 2020, Alexa ranked Etilaatroz one of the top three news websites in Afghanistan and one of the most visited Persian news outlet in the country. [18]
