      Afghan protesters have defied the Taliban for a second day, waving their national flag in scattered demonstrations that were met with renewed violence by the militants who are facing growing challenges to their rule.http://apne.ws/SYShLGp

      The Taliban have moved quickly to suppress dissent despite promises of moderation. Journalists monitoring from abroad say Taliban authorities instituted a 24-hour curfew in one province after violently breaking up a protest.http://apne.ws/QRjdCRB

          A procession of cars and people near Kabul’s airport carried black, red and green banners in honor of the Afghan flag, which is becoming a symbol of defiance. The demonstrations come as Afghans marked the Independence Day holiday.http://apne.ws/ePKkEKb

          Perhaps the only glimmer of hope is that finally, after 20 years, ordinary Afghans are willing to fight for their human rights and religious freedom. #afghanistanwomen will be the key in this movement; men have failed miserably.

          It’s their country. If they want it they have to fight for it. Biden made the right decision.
