Face To Face With The Taliban
With the US gone from Afghanistan, the world is watching to see how the Taliban may have changed since the last time it was in power 20 years ago. Has there been a shift in its views when it comes to music, art and the media? For a possible insight into what they’ll do, we hear from the BBC’s Sahar Zand. In 2019 she met the Taliban’s Deputy Director of the Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Elimination of Vice.
