For many Internet users, no doubt, these men are Taliban in the process of being proud of the capture of Kabul from the Afghan armed forces.
Surprisingly, these men supposed to respect Islamic law, the charria, in its strictest version, dance to a western song: the track
In my feelings
, by Canadian rapper Drake.
You do not believe in it ?
You do well.
Indeed this video was visible online long before the reconquest of Afghanistan by the Taliban, but also because the hit of Drake was added to the assembly.

was unable to locate the exact source of the video.
However, she first appeared on YouTube on March 25, 2021, under the name “DJ Bannu Dance”.
The title suggests that this video is from Pakistan, Bannu being the name of a city and a district.
Other occurrences of the video, published in March and April (here and there), indicate that these men are celebrating a wedding, and are part of an Afghan and Pakistani ethnic group, the Pashtuns.
On the videos published during this period, no trace of Drake's piece, only traditional instrumental music.
Sorry for the rapper's fans, the track has indeed been added for the buzz.
