The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns over the makeup of the new interim Afghan government announced by the Taliban, including the lack of female leaders and the past actions of some of those appointed to top posts.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement shared with The Hill that although the Taliban “has presented this as a caretaker cabinet,” the U.S. “will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.”
“We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government,” the spokesperson added.
The Taliban are going to transform Afghanistan into a Muslim caliphate where women will have no rights and destroy every piece of western culture in the next few years!
But in this whole hell, there is one thing that the Taliban are doing right and that’s removing the signs of the “woke culture” who believed or not it made it to the streets of Afghanistan.
The American government spend a lot of money to create more than 2,200 murals across the country addressing everything from the killing of George Floyd to every other “woke” culture event.
Many of the street art pieces have been painted over, replaced by drab propaganda slogans as the Taliban reimpose their austere vision on Afghanistan.
The mural dedicated to George Floyd, which has the words ‘I can’t breathe’ written in English and who’s death sparked Black Lives Matter protests in the US, was also removed.

A broken clock is right twice a day. Literally the only thing the Taliban has done right.
The images of workers rolling white paint over the art – who are reportedly paid less than $7 a day – were deeply foreboding for Omaid Sharifi, 34, Artlord’s co-founder who helped in painting the murals, who has been forced to flee to the UAE for his safety.
The entrance of the former US embassy in Kabul has been covered with a huge painting of the Taliban flag after it was abandoned by US diplomats on August 15 as the city fell to the militant group amid America’s chaotic withdrawal from the country.
The Taliban flag painted on the left wall in black and white is the group’s version of the Shahada Statement, which is a statement of belief core to Islamic tradition, reading: ‘There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.’
On the right wall, is their Emblem of Afghanistan featuring a Quran.

Maybe we can put the Afghan “refugees” to work painting over all the George Floyd murals here.
Where’s BLM now? Go to Kabul now!
WTF is right. Many Black muslims.
Oh dear, that’ll really piss off Burn, Loot, Murder and Auntie Fa.
“Where’s BLM now? Go to Kabul now!”
I’ll contribute to the fund paying for their one-way flights :)
No place for American criminals in a country’s run by Mohammedan career criminals.
Why the HELL is there a St. George Floyd (LOL…”GORGE”) painting in AFGHANISTAN?
Great…show Afghans how terrible AmErica is by using all the leftist talking points for public art there!
Gorge Floyd? Gorged on fentanyl?
Why was there a BLM George Floyd statue in the first place?
Geez, this is infuriating, as if he represented American values.
BLM better get over there “toot sweet” and deal with the Taliban.
The fact that a mural such as this even existed in Kabul shows the reach and of the evil ones. When do we end this madness?
So...the State Department will judge the Taliban by their actions not their words.
Just the opposite of what they did with Trump.
Anyone have any photos of these?
I’m guessing there are rainbow f(l)ags with guys kissing on a wall somewhere, too.
Another idiot headline writer.
Well, now you know why we lost. Priorities dontcha know.
THAT was my thought...
Writer really needs to step up his English skills.
Horror! And just what will the goat-humping boy-rapists do with the cache of rainbow flags left behind at the former U.S. embassy? (They certainly have no sense of irony.)
It’s called Nation Building.
It’s more than just the headline.
I do agree with this statement regarding elimination of the mural:
A broken clock is right twice a day. Literally the only thing the Taliban has done right.
