#video#Afghanistan After the Taliban takeover in August 2021, life in Afghanistan changed drastically. The former government fled the country, and sharia law was imposed. As a result, creative people, like artists, musicians, singers, practically became outlaws and struggled to find their place under constant threats. Abbas Alizada, whose story was told in the RT Documentary’s film Dragon of Afghanistan, couldn’t leave the country and now has to hide and change his appearance, so the Taliban doesn’t recognise him. Musicians are having just as hard a time. Under the Taliban, playing music was pronounced ungodly, and musicians were deemed sinners. Singer Aryana Sayeed would have been killed by the Taliban for her art and especially for daring to practice it since she was a woman. Instead, she escaped Afghanistan on a USAF plane the day after Kabul fell. How do the arts survive under the Taliban?
