The list of prohibited activities in Afghanistan is growing. The Taliban government has decided to prohibit failures, assimilated until a new notice of a money set contrary to the law on manners, said May 11 at AFP Atal Mashwani, spokesman for the Department of Sports.
Fallas “are considered a way of betting money”, which is prohibited in accordance with the law on the propagation of virtue and vice prevention (PVPV) adopted last year, said Mashwani.
The issue of “religious problems”, “Fallas will be suspended in Afghanistan whenever these problems are not treated,” added the spokesman, without specifying the sanction in case of a violation.
An ultra rigging vision of Islam
Patron of a Kabul coffee where customers dedicated themselves to this game, Azizullah Gulzada, 46, indicates that the prohibition will be respected, but it is not said that it is convinced by religious arguments. “Many Muslim countries have international players who participate in international meetings,” he told AFP.
“Many (youth) came here every day, without Paris of money,” he added, regretting that they now have less pretext to join. “People passionate about chess is possibly sad.”
After resuming power in 2021, the Taliban authorities gradually imposed their ultra rigorist vision of Islam, prohibiting certain activities and certain sports.
In 2024, MMA competitions (mixed martial arts) were prohibited, the Government believed they were too “violent” and “problems of the Sharia law”, while the practice of Cricket is still widespread, but only among men.
Women have been gradually condemned by the Taliban, who banned them access to parks, sports rooms, beauty institutes and universities, promoting the UN to denounce the “gender apartheid.”
