KABUL: Taliban on Tuesday fired a shot into the air to disperse the crowds that had gathered for the Anti-Pakistani General Meeting in the Capital, the latest protest since the hardline Islamic movement swept power last month.
The Islamists have not announced the government, but Afghans fear the repetition of the previous group brutal government between 1996 and 2001 has held a small and isolated demonstration in cities including the capital of Kabul, Hereat and Mazar-I-Sharif.
On Tuesday at least 70 people, most women, strengthened outside the Pakistani embassy, holding banners and shouting about what they said interference by Islamabad, who had long been accused of having a taliban relations.
Pakistani intelligence chief Faiz Hameed was in Kabul on weekends, reportedly to be briefed by his country’s ambassador but the possibility would also meet with Taliban officials.
AFP staff watched Taliban members fired a shot into the air to disperse the crowd.
The previous day, a small group of women in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif gathered in protests for their rights.
Challenging women also came together at Herat last week demanded that they were allowed to participate in new governments.
The demonstration on Tuesday after the Taliban claimed total control over Afghanistan the day before, said they had won the main battle for the Panjshir valley, the last shelter of their rules.
‘Press hard’, following their quick victory in mid-August over a former Afghan government security forces and withdrawing US troops after 20 years of war, the Taliban turned to fight the troops who defended the Panjshir Mount Valley.
When Islamic hardliners claimed victory, their main spokesman warned against further efforts to rise against their government.
“Anyone who tries to start a rebellion will be hit hard.
We will not let others,” Zabihullah Mujahid said at a press conference in Kabul.
When they transmit mammoths to oversee the main institutions and cities of hundreds of thousands of people, Mujahid said the government would temporarily be announced first, allowing changes later.
The new Afghan ruler has promised to be more “inclusive” than during their first task in power, with the government representing the country’s ethnic complex makeup, even though women could not be included.
Women’s freedom in Afghanistan sharply limited under the Taliban government of 1996-2001.
This time, women will be allowed to attend universities during the class separated by sex or at least divided by curtains, the Taliban education authority said in a long document released on Sunday.
The Taliban also grappled with the soaring financial and humanitarian crisis.
