Afghanistan: Taliban ban fighters from taking guns to amusement parks
Taliban fighters will not be able to take weapons with them when visiting amusement parks, spokesman said. The group has worked to promote less aggressive images because more and more income in and abroad.
Warriors from the Taliban militant groups now ruled Afghanistan had been told not to carry their weapons when visiting the amusement park and Funfairs, a spokesman said on Wednesday. They were also asked to turn into civilian clothing.
This step occurred after the internet was flooded in September with a video and pictures of Taliban Taliban fighters in recreational facilities and parks throughout the country after the previous month’s takeover – on the pedal boat and bumper car, or grabbed ice cream while lying down their rifles.
“The Mujahideen of the Emirates of Islam is not permitted to enter amusement parks with weapons, military uniforms and vehicles,” said the main Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, said on Twitter. “[They] are obliged to comply with all the rules and regulations of amusement parks.”
The pictures triggered a lot of criticism amid fears that other visitors might feel worried when they saw gunmen wearing khaki in a place designed for entertainment. There are also worries about whether the adults are suitable for rides and attractions.
“This equipment is designed for a variety of heavy categories, such as children and parents, but some armed people use it without thinking about the rules,” a worker at Habibullah Zazai Park in the capital, Kabul, who wants to remain anonymous, told Efe Spain’s news agency.
The Taliban, which supports Islamic interpretations that are very rigid and severe, often known brutally uphold their version of what is moral and true when they last ruled from 1996 to 2001, before they were overthrown by the US-led invasion.
Since returning to power, they have tried to persuade fellow Afghans and the whole world that they have become more moderate in what is widely seen as an offer to regain access to international financial support in the midst of a developing humanitarian crisis.
After years of conflict in the country that was hit by poverty and the terrible economic situation at this time, many Afghans saw their amusement parks to stay away from everyday problems.
“We come here so our children can have fun and can forget the current problem,” One visitor to Habibullah Zazai Park told Efe.
