The Kabul Times Daily is a state-run English-language newspaper in Afghanistan, initially established on February 27, 1962, as The Kabul Times. , it had a daily circulation of 47,000 and is offered in both print and online formats. Following the Saur Revolution, The Kabul Times was renamed Kabul New Times and began to print Communist rhetoric that was reminiscent of days during the Cold War and was highly confrontational towards Western culture. The paper briefly stopped publication during the US-led invasion, resuming in March 2002. Following the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, the editor-in-chief Hamidullah Arefi resigned; after a brief period of vacancy, Nik Mohammad was appointed as new editor and the paper was renamed The Kabul Times Daily.
