Videos of Taliban members enjoying amusement park rides have surfaced on social media, a day after they captured Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul. The video, which was first shared by Kabul-based Reuters journalist Hamid Shalizi, is now deleted. In the video, the Taliban fighters with weapons in hand can be seen enjoying a ride on the electric bumper cars and merry-go-round horses.

Ever since Taliban captured Kabul, social media has been flooded with videos from Afghanistan. One video doing the rounds on the internet shows a few Taliban insurgents moving around the streets with a reporter’s microphone and asking people to share how happy they are under the ‘Talibani rule’.

Videos of the Taliban inside the ornate house of General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a US-allied warlord, are also doing rounds.

Meanwhile, the Taliban in its first official communication after capturing Kabul on Tuesday declared an “amnesty” across the country and urged women to join its government. Kabul on Monday witnessed chaos with  thousands of Afghans rushing into Kabul’s main airport, some so desperate to escape the Taliban that they held onto a military jet as it took off and plunged to their deaths. At least seven people died in the chaos.

“The Islamic Emirate doesn’t want women to be victims” Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban’s cultural commission, said, adding, “they should be in government structure according to Shariah law,” reports AP.

The Taliban started taking over territories soon after the US troops left the country and rapidly advanced, entering Kabul on August 15. That they would take the country was known, but the pace caught many by surprise. President Ashraf Ghani fled the country as soon as the militant force reached the outskirts of capital Kabul.

The Afghan army, which was built and trained over two-decades at the cost of $83 billion, fell like ninepins — in some cases without a shot fired. The Taliban grabbed not only political power but also US-supplied firepower — guns, ammunition, helicopters and more.
