The influencers in the tourism travel to the Taliban -run Afghanistan are enhanced
Orzza, from Rossi, said that although the influencers on Western passports “they wander freely, form pictures and gain fame online,” but these privileges are a refusal of Afghan women, who are given from schools, jobs, or even walking freely in public places without being accompanied by male parents.
She added that there are also moral and ethical dilemmas, because profits are indirectly and maintained a financial system that has provided “sexual apartheid”.
As for videos from influencers who show Afghan women smile in the background, Orza said: “This must never be confused with consent or approval of the current reality.”
“This is not a cultural exchange, it is a new tourist tourism that wears as an adventure,” she added.
Visitors to Afghanistan are still among thousands of thousands, as the war -torn country is trying to rebuild its image under Islamic laws and customs run by the Taliban. Nearly 9,000 foreigners visited in 2024, while nearly 3000 visited in the first three months of this year, according to a report issued by Associated Press.
Along with the influencers in travel, some tourism companies have been creating videos that have been reformulated since then through the Taliban accounts on social media in an attempt to attract more visitors.
A strange video of 50 seconds made by Vlogger Yosaf Ariopi It starts with a strange scene of three people who have bags on their heads, and they are supposed to be hostage by men behind them, who wear clothes like the Taliban with guns on their shoulders.
One of the armed men, before they pulled the bag from one of the hostages, only to reveal a broad smile that gives a thumb and says: “Welcome to Afghanistan!”
The video then cuts to male tourists who dive into the lakes with picturesque views and walk through the waterfalls, and even carry the M4 rifles that are found to be the same.
Not every influencer sees Afghanistan in this way. In another video clip, YouTube Nolan Saumure, who has 650,000 channels stamp, admits that it only interacted with men during his journey there.
In a 35 -minute video entitled “Afghanistan has a lot of testosterone”, SAUERER rotates the camera around it to show a large crowd of Afghan men wandering.
“It is a full sausage festival here,” he says.
