Biden's Afghanistan: Taliban uses beatings, gunfire to break up women’s rights protest on takeover anniversary

[Counselor706]

A group of about 40 women converged on the education ministry in Kabul on Saturday, chanting “bread, work, and freedom!” to protest the Taliban’s hideous treatment of women. The Taliban responded by beating the protesters with rifle butts and firing gunshots in the air to break up the rally.

The protesters carried a banner reading “August 15 is a black day,” referring to the day in 2021 when the Taliban took over Kabul. Another of their slogans was “Justice, justice, we’re fed up with ignorance.”

“We had a protest. The Taliban violated our protest. They shot into the air and detained the girls for around two to three hours. (Islamic Emirate forces) seized their phones,” Afghanistan’s independent Tolo News reported, using the Taliban government’s preferred name for itself.

He was the one who announced the withdrawal, leaving Biden to sort out the mess Trump had created.

Nonsense.

The Afghans were given a democracy and an army to defend that democracy with. They decided they'd rather have religious nutters running the country. That's on them.

Rubbish! The Afghans were supported by massive IFOR troop deployments and hardware. Trump's decision, about which he neither consulted nor informed his allies, meant that the Afghan army was unable to stop the Taliban alone - which any IFOR general could have told Trump but he didn't want to hear that.
