The Taliban has released a promotional video inviting American tourists to visit Afghanistan, aiming to rebrand the country as a travel destination despite its association with terrorism. The video, produced by Raza Afghanistan travel agency, opens with a tongue-in-cheek hostage scene and includes humor about Afghanistan's reputation for terrorism. This campaign marks a provocative attempt by the Taliban, who have controlled Afghanistan since the fall of Kabul four years ago, to attract adventurous travelers. Despite the promotion, the U.S. State Department continues to maintain its 'Do Not Travel' advisory for Afghanistan due to ongoing security concerns. The campaign has drawn attention internationally, with some local influencers creating parody videos encouraging tourism, although past incidents, such as the attack last year that killed four Spanish tourists and one Afghan citizen, underscore the risks involved.
