Nowruz again banned in Afghanistan?[edit]

During the earlier Taliban rule in Afghanistan (1996-2001), celebrating Nowruz was banned in the "Islamic Emirate". However, this page claims that "During the Taliban rule (1996–2001, 2021-present), Nauruz was [sic!] banned and considered an 'ancient pagan holiday centered on fire worship'.", which seems to be the result of an (probably unintentional) "updating" concerning the new Taliban rule from last summer. But the text does not cite any source for this assertation; therefore, one could ask: has the new Taliban rulers again banned celebration of Nowruz in Afghanistan? And if so, have they also banned the use of the Afghan solar Hegira calendar (very similar to the Iranian one), and reverted to the use of only the Islamic lunar Hegira calendar? /Erik Ljungstrand (Sweden) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.241.158.202 (talk) 10:00, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
