Taliban Opens Fire On Crowd After They Wave Afghanistan Flag, Fatalities Reported

Taliban terrorists reportedly opened fire on a crowd in Afghanistan on Wednesday because the protesters insisted on waving the flag of Afghanistan.

“A public display of dissent in the northeastern city of Jalalabad was met by an overwhelming use of force,” The New York Times reported. “Taliban soldiers fired into the crowd and beat protesters and journalists.”

NBC News journalist Richard Engel tweeted: “Afghans demonstrate in Jalalabad in support of keeping Afghan flag (instead of white Taliban flag). Local media report Taliban fires on them, killing 2 and injured others.”

State-funded foreign media claimed that two people were killed and a dozen others were injured.

The incident comes after Democrat President Joe Biden pulled U.S. forces out of Afghanistan in a widely criticized manner.

The Taliban seized a significant amount of U.S. Military hardware and weapons that were given to the Afghan security forces for them to use in their fight against the Taliban.

However, the Afghan security forces collapsed against the Taliban after the U.S. Military, under Biden’s leadership, pulled air support out of the country, which left the Afghan security forces unable to operate.
