They’re not wrong that bachi bazi is outlawed by the Taliban, but characterizing it as a policy endorsed by the US is ridiculous. I also question how effective the Taliban ban on the practice is, just like I question the Taliban’s purported ban on opium cultivation. Generally when there is money to be made even the morality police turn a blind eye.
They made it illegal but allegedly it still happens and they don’t enforce it as much as you’d like to believe they do. Likely they ban it for international appearance
