Since the Taliban toppled the US-backed Ashraf Ghani government to take control of Afghanistan on 15 August, rallies and protests supporting the rights of Afghan citizens and denouncing the Taliban rule have flared in several countries across the world. Protests were held in the US, Australia, Canada, the UK, and Austria against the Taliban, condemning their aggressive advance and atrocities in Afghanistan. Pic/PTI
Meanwhile, thousands of Afghans protested against the Taliban in the southern city of Kandahar on Tuesday, after residents were asked to vacate a residential army colony. Protesters gathered in front of the governor's house in Kandahar after around 3,000 families were asked to leave the colony. Pic/PTI
