Watch Taliban play bumper cars at an amusement park

The amusement park had been noticeably empty since the Taliban took power back in August, and like many other venues it has been taken over by the new government.

The Islamist movement has been at pains to show a more conciliatory face to the world since it swept to power, but there remains uncertainty over how it will govern.

It has said cultural activities would be allowed, as long as they did not go against sharia and Afghanistan's Islamic culture.
