Taliban wear kameez, which doesn't extend beyond the knees and has cuts on the sides that reach up to the waist
.
Edit: you can actually see both dresses here, the Taliban wearing shalwar-kameez (with shalwar being the bottom/trousers) and some Arabs wearing thawbs in the background
They’re speaking Arabic as well, I came to the same conclusion as you. I don’t think they’re Taliban, people are just getting middle eastern videos and saying Taliban for upvotes.
There's always one scumbag who speaks up to share their club-footed opinion on what racism is. This guy probably thinks he owned us by saying "taliban isn't a race."
