The Taliban have destroyed the statue of Amir Ali Shir Nawayi, a renowned Persian and Turkic-language writer and statesman from the Timurid era, located in Mazar-e-Sharif province.
This action has sparked outrage among Afghan cultural advocates, who have condemned it as hostility toward Afghan culture, heritage, and historical artistic monuments.
It is worth noting that the Taliban have not yet provided any explanation for the destruction of the statue.
