Hundreds of Afghans protested outside the White House, shouting that Biden betrayed the Afghani people and calling for sanctions against Pakistan for funding the Taliban. Biden wasn’t at the White House, he was at Camp David even though he thought he was in Iowa.
The protesters were especially worried about what will happen to women over there now. They are expecting killings and beheadings against women again just like they were doing before we invaded.
The protesters blamed Biden for losing the country to the Taliban. It took the Taliban just six days to capture the entire country. Biden had overruled his generals who told him not to pull all of the troops out of the country.
Kamala Harris bragged that she played a key role in that decision. I would not have bragged about that if I were her, which thank the Lord I’m not.
“You sold out our people!” they yelled. “Biden, you betrayed us! We will not trust you! You abandon allies! You made a deal and sold out Afghanistan!”
"This is not freedom! We don't deserve this!" the Afghan American activists chanted, referring to burka which Taliban requires.

Women’s rights were a primary concern for the protesters as women were not able to receive an education or work outside of the home under previous Taliban rule.
Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen told the BBC Sunday women will be able to go to school and work, but must “observe the hijab, that is it,” but reports from Afghanistan tell a much different story as women are being denied entry to schools and many are too afraid to leave their homes to work.
The Taliban also reportedly has been abducting girls as young as twelve, and forcing them to become “sex slaves.”
One speaker said she was 10 years old when the Taliban placed a bomb in front of her school. She said, “Our women deserve educations. No child should be facing bombs.”
Criticizing Biden, the speaker continued, “You left another generation. You left another generation. Shame on you!”
Other protesters said that Afghanistan run by the Taliban would be a danger to many countries of the world. They could export terrorism. They were very uncooperative after 911.
