Several surreal images of the Taliban enjoying themselves after capturing the Afghanistan's capital of Kabul have emerged on social media.
One video showed the Taliban fighters driving bumper cars at an amusement park, with some of the fighters still carrying their rifles.
Another video put up by French media outlet Mediavenir showed the Taliban fighters riding a merry-go-round, reportedly at the same park.
Working out at a gym
A third video put up by Lebanese media Mulhak showed the Taliban exercising at a gym, which was supposedly located within the presidential palace in Kabul.
It is unclear as to when all three videos were taken.
In addition, a fourth video by Syrian activist Asaad Hanna also went viral, showing the Taliban fighters laughing while jumping on a trampoline.
However, another Twitter user pointed out that the video had been first uploaded 11 months ago to YouTube, under the title "taliban first time trampoline 😂‼️"
Taliban: We want women to join our government
AP News reported that the Taliban have since declared an "amnesty" across the country and called on women to join the government.
However, many Afghans fear a return to the harsh rule of the group which saw stonings, amputations and public executions during their initial rule from 1996 to 2001.
Women were also barred from working, attending school and had to wear a burqa while accompanied by a male relative if they went outside.
Some residents of Kabul have stayed home, fearful of the militants, while the city's airport has since become a scene of chaos, with at least seven people dying so far.
