Breaking: Taliban Opens Fire On Civilians In Eastern Afghanistan; Killing Four Over National Flag

by Leading Reporters August 19, 2021
written by Leading Reporters

Information reaching LeadingReporters confirmed that the Taliban has murdered not less than four civilians in Eastern part of Afghanistan over the former’s insistence on changing the National Flag of Afghanistan in line with the new name and its Sharia-compliant stance.

A source who spoke to the Lead Investigation Editor of LeadingReporters from Eastern Afghanistan reported that tension began to brew when Taliban combatants besieged a city in Eastern part of the country and began to pull down the national flags and other national symbols. 

It was reported that they experienced a little resistance from the civilians who reminded them what they had promised during their press conferences.

The eyewitness said no sooner one of the protesters told them to leave the flag and other symbols than a Taliban combatant opened fire on the crowd, killing about four people on the spot and leaving countless others wounded.

Recall that the Taliban regime most recently seized power from a democratically elected President, Ashraf Ghani who reports says is currently in United Arab Emirate on exile, after he flee his country, following Taliban’s victorious entry into the Capital, Kabul.

Tension is mounting across the country over the extreme excesses of the group, despite their promises to be lenient and more tolerant of the opposition.

Taliban renames country Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

by Leading Reporters August 17, 2021
written by Leading Reporters

The Taliban has renamed Afghanistan the ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’ after its fighters swept into the capital, Kabul, a bustling metropolis of six million that has turned into a male-dominated city without police or traffic controls.

Aljazeera reports that scores of Afghans ran alongside a US military plane as it taxied on the runway and several clung to the side as the jet took off with Senior US military officials confirming to Aljazeera that the chaos left seven dead, as well as several who fell from the flight.

According to AP, the Taliban, a militant group that ran the country in the late 1990s, have again taken control.

The US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 ousted the insurgents from power, but they never left.

After they blitzed across the country in recent days, the Western-backed government that has run the country for 20 years collapsed.

CNN reports that hundreds of people poured onto the tarmac at Kabul’s international airport, desperately seeking a route out of Afghanistan on Monday after the Taliban’s sudden seizure of power sparked a chaotic Western withdrawal and brought to a crashing end the United States’ two-decade mission in the country.

Meanwhile, at a special session of the UN Security Council in New York, UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, urged Taliban to show “the utmost restraint to protect lives” and demanded that anyone who wanted to leave the country must be able to do so.

US President Joe Biden also received a briefing by top security officials on the situation in Afghanistan, the White House said.

“This morning, the President was briefed by his national security team, including the Secretary of Defense and Chairman Milley, on the security situation at Hamid Karzai International Airport, and ongoing efforts to safely evacuate American citizens, US Embassy personnel and local staff, SIV (special immigrant visa) applicants and their families, and other vulnerable Afghans,” it said in a statement.
