2 Months On, Talibs Amusing Themselves

October 15 marks two months since the Taliban captured Kabul and thereafter all of Afghanistan.

How has life changed for the Talib in these weeks?

From fighting a relentless war against who they were brainwashed to consider as ‘infidels’, the Talibs are now discovering the pleasures of modern life. From visiting the amusement park in Kabul to lazily patrolling the Afghan capital’s streets.
