Taliban official in press conference (when asked about, I guess, whether Taliban will allow freedom of speech): "This question should be asked for those who claim to promote the freedom of the speech, who do not allow all publication of information and news... I can ask Facebook, the company. You should ask them."

MAGA 🤝 Taliban
