Taliban puts down protest in Kabul: ‘Even if you decapitate us, we will grow again’

Dozens of people, including many women, took to the streets of Kabul on Tuesday September 7 to protest against Pakistan’s involvement in the restoration of the Taliban. Pakistan has been accused of helping the Taliban take control of the Panjshir valley, the last bastion of opposition in Afghanistan. Taliban soldiers fired in the air to try to disperse protesters. Two female Observers overcame their fear to take part in the demonstration.
