Hundreds of Afghans protest outside White House as Taliban take control of Kabul

Washington: People with ties to Afghanistan blamed President Joe Biden for betraying the people of the war-torn country and demand for sanctioning Pakistan as hundreds of people protested Sunday afternoon outside the White House.
The protests were after the presidential palace in Kabul was “handed over” to the Taliban, vacated just hours ago by government officials, including President Ashraf Ghani who has fled the country.
 Discussions are underway among top White House advisors for how President Biden should address the deepening crisis in Afghanistan, officials said Sunday, but no final decision has yet been reached about whether the President should return to Washington from his planned August vacation at Camp David.
President Joe Biden has authorised on Sunday an additional 1,000 US troops for deployment to Afghanistan, raising to roughly 6,000 troops to ensure safe evacuation.
“The women of Afghanistan will have no freedom. We do not want to go back to the burqa’s that is not freedom,” Farzana Hafiz told ANI.
Hafiz lives in Northern Virginia but her home country is Afghanistan. As she broke down, she said it’s been hard to watch what’s happening from 7,000 miles away.
