Taliban fighters inspected security guards' weapons and gun licenses at the TOLO TV compound in Kabul on August 19, 2026, during the final week of the American occupation, which had previously supported the broadcasting empire. Previously, on June 7, 2026, Saad Mohseni, chairman of Moby Group and founder of TOLO TV, faced intense criticism from Afghan activists, journalists, and diaspora members for remarks on women’s situation in Afghanistan made at the Jaipur Literature Festival in London. This followed a May 12, 2026, report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) that dozens of Taliban intelligence officers raided Moby Group’s office after TOLOnews announced the arrest of its journalists Mansour Niazi and Imran Danish. Earlier, on June 2, 2025, Mohseni, the Afghan media mogul, sold his Greenwich Village townhouse for $4.8 million, having rented it out since reportedly leaving New York several years prior; Moby Group is based in Dubai.
