INTERNATIONAL DESK: A large number of people demonstrated against the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in London on Saturday.
Pakistani lawmaker Mohsin Dawar tweeted: “Huge protest in London today against the betrayal in Afghanistan. British officials trying to normalize the Taliban shld pay attention to the mood of their own public. This is a global threat & any short term expediency from the British govt will’ve long term consequences for the UK as well.”
People gathered in support of Afghanistan near Hyde Park in central London. The protesters turned on national music and unfurled a huge flag of Afghanistan.
They carried posters calling for democracy and “immediate action” from the international community to stop the Taliban.
Similar protests are taking place across the globe.
On August 15, the Taliban entered Kabul.
President Ashraf Ghani resigned and fled the country to prevent what he described as bloodshed that would occur if militants stormed the city.
Many countries have since started evacuating their citizens and diplomatic personnel from Afghanistan.
