[Regnum] The Taliban movement (the organization is under UN sanctions for terrorist activities) has banned male citizens of Afghanistan from wearing jeans and fashionable haircuts, the American newspaper The Washington Post (WP) reports.

It is noted that the prohibitive measures came into force at the end of August. According to the newspaper, the ban is aimed at preventing the imitation of "non-Muslims" in behavior. Along with this, men were banned from cutting their beards shorter than a fist and wearing jeans.

The newspaper also notes that the bans came as an "unexpected surprise" to men in Afghanistan.
Then they’re fools. Totalitarians gotta total.
"If men had shown themselves, we could have found ourselves in a different situation now. Now everyone is growing beards because we don't want to be interrogated, humiliated," the newspaper quotes the resident as saying.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, in 2022, the Taliban banned men and women from visiting restaurants and parks together in the Afghan city of Herat. Thus, men and women are allowed to visit public parks only on different days. Women are recommended to go there on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the rest of the week are intended for men.

#3  They could have joined the ANA or a local militia and fought the Taliban. Instead they decided to depend on the American military to protect them.

Nice going suckers.
