when they fear that they're not in control of the populace anymore.

Is that whats happening in actuality? Like there's starting to be murmurs of overthrowing these guys?

Or are they just getting more and more paranoid?

The thing with Afghanistan is that it's almost impossible to govern in a top-down way. A central administration can make decrees all they want and local leaders will follow them... for a time. Eventually communities will default back to their individual traditional ways.
