NEWSRAEL: Reminder - this is the so-called "Taliban 2.0" that the Western Echo Chamber Media wanted to convince us of.

The Ministry of Ethics in Afghanistan has issued a series of new regulations, which stipulate that women who want to travel more than 72 km must be accompanied by a male relative, and are required to wear a head covering. 

In addition, citizens are asked not to listen to music while traveling.

Authorities in Afghanistan yesterday (Sunday) ordered not to take women on long journeys unaccompanied by a close family member, and to offer transportation only to those wearing the hijab. "Women traveling more than 72 km should not be transported unless accompanied by a close family member," said a spokesman for the Ministry of Morality and Sin Prevention. Citizens are also asked to stop and listen to music while traveling.

The new regulations, posted on social media, came weeks after the ministry, which actually serves as a sort of Taliban religious police, ordered Afghan television channels to stop broadcasting series starring actresses. In addition, he called on TV presenters to cover their heads during the broadcast.

It is not clear how the Taliban interpret the need to wear a hijab - which may only cover the head or reach full body coverage, the burqa. Most women in Afghanistan are already wearing one head covering or another.
