KABUL: The Taliban have announced the opening of a museum in Jawzjan called the “Jihadi Museum,” featuring explosive materials, including barrel bombs and other military equipment. This museum was inaugurated by the Taliban governor’s office in Jawzjan. Gul Haidar Shafaq, the Taliban governor for Jawzjan, stated that the aim of establishing this museum is to preserve and care the historical and wartime heritage. Saifullah Matsem, the head of Information and Culture for the Taliban in the province, indicated that the purpose of the museum is to familiarize future generations with the country’s past. However, some residents of Jawzjan have criticized the display of explosive materials in the museum, expressing concerns that the presence of such items could instill fear and anxiety. Previously, the Taliban showcased explosive materials, hand grenades, and military motorcycles in the Ziarat-e-Sakhi area of Mazar-i-Sharif. Former Taliban Minister of Information and Culture, Khairullah Khairkhwa, mentioned that in addition to establishing jihadi museums, a jihadi archive would also be created to preserve artifacts related to war and jihad.
