KABUL—Protests against the Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan spread to more cities on Thursday, including the capital Kabul, and a witness said several people were killed when the terrorists fired on a crowd in Asadabad in the eastern province of Kunar.
“Our flag, our identity,” a crowd of men and women waving black, red, and green national flags shouted in Kabul, a video posted on social media showed, on the day Afghanistan celebrates independence from British control in 1919.
