Ever since the Taliban took over the government of Afghanistan, one aspect of the economy has suffered greatly: tourism. Sure, it was never *that* big of a part of the country’s money-making ventures, but for some reason, having your country be run by people who won’t stop carrying guns everywhere makes your average vacationer a bit nervous!

Now, the locals are trying to change that. Several tour groups have begun operating in the country, and a couple of tourists recently published this promotional video — though I seriously doubt it’s going to win anyone over.

⚡UNUSUAL
Afghanistan has released a promotional video aimed at attracting Americans to visit — in a wild and unexpected way.

The message says:
"After liberating our homeland from you, now you’re welcome to come as tourists or guests " pic.twitter.com/VvXaoWm3fb
