[KP] Everything was confused in the Taliban house. Women demand the observance of rights, men - freedom, all together - getting rid of Pakistani oppression.
On Tuesday morning, hundreds of people, mostly women, took to the streets of Kabul to protest. On the eve of the leader of the anti-Taliban resistance, Ahmad Massoud Jr. called on Afghans for a national uprising against the Taliban. Actually, he had nothing else to do, after the new authorities announced full control over his native Panjshir, including the mausoleum of his father.
Massoud said that he himself switched to a partisan position, but urged not to be silent. And who would have thought, but there were those who were not afraid to declare themselves. It was impossible to imagine such a thing 20 years ago. But two decades of Western influence were not in vain. An entire generation has grown up, brought up on other values - they speak English well, dressed (before the arrival of the Taliban) in European clothes, studied Western courses, absorbed through them the smells of freedom and democracy.
And then suddenly comes greetings from the Middle Ages and makes them wear a burqa. Passionate youth explodes with just protest. And insofar as the Shariah attacks women in the first place, they constitute the core of this protest. Unafraid, never stoned, fascinated by the idea of gender equality.
Ordinary Taliban, it should be noted, also got younger. During the "first coming" of the movement to power, when the mass executions lasted for several days, they were, at best, young children. Therefore, today they look at the "woman's revolt" with some bewilderment -- this is not what the fathers told them about. At first, they with an important air accompany the protest procession, closing it with pickups with machine guns.
Fingers are on the triggers of machine guns, but the authorities do not order people to shoot at the people -- the picture will turn out to be painfully ugly. And in an age when videos are circulating around the network like the delta strain of the coronavirus, it's easy to spoil your reputation as moderate Islamists.
"Freedom! Freedom!" the women are chanting . In their hands are posters on which they demand the opportunity to participate in the political life of the country.
"Hands off Panjshir!" - they shout, in my opinion, a little belatedly.
"Pakistan, Pakistan, leave Afghanistan!" The complaints of the "angry townspeople" to the neighbors are, perhaps, even more than to the Taliban. Here they are sure that only thanks to the intervention of neighbors (including by military means) it was possible to conquer the last rebellious stronghold.
"No to the pocket government of Islamabad!" the women shout, hinting that the main posts can go to the Taliban pro-Pakistani faction, the "Haqqani network." The people are noisy and unhindered sailing through Kabul. An unprecedented rampant democracy!
When an unarmed crowd with ladies at the forefront breaks through the armed cordon around the Pakistani embassy, democracy ends. For lack of water cannons and bird cherry grenades, the Taliban open heavy automatic fire into the air. They fire over the heads of the protesters, they scatter to the sides.
Suddenly someone stands right in front of an armed militant: "Shoot me!" he yells in the face of an armed bearded man. He looks at the "suicide bomber" in confusion.
"And into me! And into me!" a few more guys join the brave man. Several Taliban jumped up, the protesters were twisted and taken away in an unknown direction. And along with them - and several journalists who captured this action.
I don’t know if the Taliban understands that in the current information age, when there is a camera "in any iron," it is impossible to conceal anything. And if the protests continue, they will have to come up with something more attractive than shooting in the air.
The new authorities, by the way, are trying to play counter-propaganda. In one of the provinces, for example, women in deaf burkas took to the streets, defending their right to live according to Sharia law. And I'm not even sure they were forced to do it. After all, when it comes to protest, it means, first of all, the urban population. In rural areas, the way of life has not changed for centuries - not under the Shuravi, not under the Taliban, and not under the Americans.
As for the prospects for a guerrilla movement sympathetic to Panjsher, its prospects, given the combat potential of the Taliban, are very vague. The West has already said that it will not support the anti-Taliban resistance, and without this, not a single force in Afghanistan can afford to embark on the path of civil war today.
The people gathered after co-leader of the resistance front in Panjshir province Ahmad Masoud in a voice clip called on people of Afghanistan to resurrect against the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... In the meantime, people in Blakh and Daikundi provinces too erupted into the streets yesterday and last night and rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against Pakistain.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has also reacted to the airstrikes in Panjshir province and the spokesperson of the country’s foreign ministry has asked for investigations over what he called the interference of foreign jets.
Journalists beaten, detained while covering protest in Kabul
[KhaamaPress] The Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... fighters have beaten four Afghan journalists and cameramen and have temporarily detained others as they tried to cover a protest.
Afghan journalists say that they were not allowed to cover the protest and their equipment was taken.
The anti-Pakistain protest was conducted by hundreds of men and women in Kabul and asked for the closure of the Pak embassy in Kabul.
The Taliban fighters have also fired gunshots so that they disperse the protestors but video clips from the scene show that people were still protesting and were chanting slogans against Pakistain.
Some protestors have also been reported to be detained by the Taliban fighters and now they are kept in a basement but Taliban officials have not commented on the issue yet.
Earlier, officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan had said that the media are free to work as normal and there will not be any limitation imposed as far as they do not violate Islamic principles and national values.
The IEA had also given a special permission letter so that the journalists are not faced any predicaments during work but journalists are still hampered and are even beaten and detained while covering stories.
Two killed in anti-Taliban protest in Afghanistan's Herat: Doctor
[AlAhram] Two people were rubbed out and eight maimed in a protest in the western Afghan city of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... on Tuesday, a doctor said.
The bodies were brought to the city's central hospital from the site of the protest, the doctor, who asked not to be named out of fear of reprisals, told AFP.
"They all have bullet wounds," he said.
