Original Note:
Bacha Bazi has been rooted in the area for some time until it was banned by Taliban. It has nothing to do with Islamists as being claimed here. The us troops were told to ignore this practice. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/world/asia/us-soldiers-told-to-ignore-afghan-allies-abuse-of-boys.html Taliban have placed a death penalty and executed those found guilty. https://swn.af/archive/taliban-kill-2-people-over-bacha-bazi-in-baghlan/
