flag Taliban restrict images and bar women at Herat’s Jihad Museum, altering its display of resistance history.

flag The Jihad Museum in Herat, Afghanistan, which honors the resistance against Soviet forces, has been altered under Taliban rule, with figurines' faces and animal depictions covered to comply with bans on images of living beings. flag The former Heroes’ Hall displaying portraits of mujahideen commanders, including Ahmad Shah Massoud, has been removed, and women are largely barred from entering. flag Despite changes, the museum remains open, housing war relics like tanks and aircraft, and is still visited by some, including former fighters like 67-year-old Saaduddeen, who value its historical significance. flag The updates reflect broader Taliban enforcement of religious restrictions since 2024.
