‘The soul of Kabul’: Taliban paint over murals with victory slogans

Works including celebration of killed aid worker and signing of peace agreement are replaced

The Taliban have started replacing murals on Kabul's streets with paintings of their flags and Islamic slogans as the new rulers continued to reimpose their austere vision on Afghanistan.

The murals addressed everything from the killing of George Floyd in the US and the drowning of Afghan refugees in Iran, to the signing of the US-Taliban agreement towards peace and murder of a Japanese aid worker.
