Here is the segment in proper context. It’s still repulsive, but I read it to mean that all happened a decade ago. I would have editited the sentence to “Back then, Mujahideen fighters...”
Shabby and rundown, Kabul Zoo is a far cry from zoos in the developed world, but has nevertheless come a long way since it suffered on the front line of Afghanistan’s 1992-4 civil war.
Mujahideen fighters then ate the deer and rabbits and shot dead the zoo’s sole elephant. Shells shattered the aquarium.
i agree. i should have done this. thanks for the correction.
but then again would the taliban now behave different?
Every zoo should have a couple of caged Mujahideen. Hey! We could close Gitmo, and put ‘em in zoos!
