Video of Eating Contest Involving Taliban Intelligence Commander Sparks Controversy

A recently circulated video on social media shows several members of the Taliban administration competing in an eating contest with a group of foreign male and female tourists. It is reported that among these individuals is a Taliban intelligence commander. The exact time and location of the recording have not yet been confirmed.

The footage shows the group gathered in what appears to be a local eatery, laughing and joking as they engage in the competitive eating. The behavior and atmosphere of this meeting have sparked widespread criticism and reactions among social media users.

Critics argue that while Afghan citizens face serious economic troubles and social restrictions, the sharing of such scenes by Taliban officials is questionable. They emphasize that the administration’s officials should act more responsibly in their public conduct.

Previously, videos capturing controversial interactions and behaviors of some Taliban fighters and members with foreign tourists, especially women, had been released, drawing negative reactions. However, the Taliban administration has not yet issued an official statement regarding this newly circulated video.
