The Taliban avenged “Bush” after 20 years
The Taliban Movement renamed the main market that was called by the name of the former American President George W. Bush.
A new sign, called “Mujahideen”, appeared at the entrance instead of “Bazar Bush”, according to the Sputnik news agency.
The market emerged after the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 by the American forces. Its name was derived from the name of the American President George W. Bush, who started his reign as the American military presence in Afghanistan 20 years ago.
Earlier, the Taliban had already renamed the airport in Kabul and removed the name of Afghanistan’s former president Hamid Karzai, as well as the Kabul Education University.
The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in mid-August and later announced the formation of an interim government to run the country.
The European Union confirmed that it does not intend to recognize politically the rule of the Taliban, unless it meets criteria it had set earlier, while many countries, including the Netherlands, France and Germany, have pledged to support the Afghan people and to try to resume the evictions.
The movement’s control was the culmination of long-running military operations against Afghan government forces as U.S. and NATO forces began withdrawal from Afghanistan last May.
The international community has assured the Taliban that the key to peace and development is a comprehensive government that supports the movement’s commitments to a more conciliatory approach to human rights after its previous period in power from 1996 to 2001, which was characterized by violence and repression against women.
