Afghans clash with Taliban for 2nd day; Biden vows to get U.S. evacuees out

[UPI] Aug. 19 (UPI) -- For the second straight day, throngs of protesters took to the streets in Afghanistan to show disapproval for the abrupt Taliban takeover, as U.S. President Joe Biden said troops may be kept there until all Americans are safely evacuated.

Officials said that several people involved in the new demonstrations were killed when Taliban fighters opened fire on them in Asadabad, which is located in eastern Afghanistan about 110 miles east of Kabul.

The demonstrators were waving the Afghan national flag while celebrating the country's independence from Britain on Aug. 19, 1919.

Multiple protesters were also killed Wednesday after clashing with Taliban fighters in Jalalabad, Afghanistan's fifth-largest city.
