THE PROTESTS
Protesters gathered around the world to support Afghanistan yesterday and urge international action to help the thousands fleeing the Taliban.
Marchers rallied outside Downing Street and took over Oxford Circus and Hyde Park as they criticised the UK Government’s handling of the Taliban seizing the Middle East nation.
Meanwhile, protesters also gathered in Glasgow to express their solidarity with the people of Afghanistan.
In London, men and women let off green and red flares, waved the country’s flag and held up huge banners during the protest. One banner read: “Stop oppression of Afghan women.” Another said: “Talib has not changed.” While one more added: “We want peace.”
