Anti-Taliban protesters raise Afghan national flag in Jalalabad
Telegraph, 18 Aug 2021
Hundreds of people in the eastern city of Jalalabad paraded the Afghan national flag through the streets in a rare early show of public dissent to the Taliban take over.
Taliban militants fired in the air to disperse the crowds. There were conflicting reports over whether there had been casualties as the Taliban broke up the protest. Two were shot dead and 12 injured, Al Jazeera reported.
In seized territory, the Taliban has been raising their own flag, which is made up of a white banner with Islamic inscriptions, in place of the Afghan national flag.
