In the days after the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, some U.S. leaders are asking for answers on the safety of Americans, while the Afghan people are starting to push back against their new rulers, APA reports citing USA Today.
A day after a protest in Jalalabad, in eastern Afghanistan, drew a violent Taliban rebuke, demonstrations grew on Thursday. Afghan people pushed their new rulers by waving the national flag and marking the nation's 102nd anniversary of independence from Britain.
In Washington, the Defense Department has said the US has brought over 7,000 people out of Kabul since Saturday.
