"Hundreds, if not thousands" of people protest in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, where there are clashes with at least two dead and 12 injured

, against the abolition of the Afghan national flag, replaced everywhere by the victorious Taliban with theirs.

Al Jazeera writes it.

"Since we saw the arrival of the Taliban, all the flags have been gradually removed and replaced by theirs. We saw it in Kabul.

Many people don't like this, but many have had to resign.

But in Jalalabad they did not give up and here there was resistance from a good slice of the community ", writes Rob McBride of the Qatari broadcaster. 

In Bamiyan, the statue of an anti-Taliban Shiite hero

, Abdul Ali Mazari, was shot down by the insurgents.

The inhabitants of the city made it known.

He is a former Hazara political leader, the Shiite minority in Afghanistan. 

According to Sky News reports, at least 17 people were injured today in the crowd at Kabul airport, where thousands of Afghans have flocked for days in the hope of leaving the country: a NATO security official said. 

Meanwhile, sources from the Taliban and former president Hamid Karzai quoted by Tolo television

said the two sides are working towards the formation of an "inclusive government"

in Afghanistan. The announcement follows the news that today the former president met in Kabul Anas Haqqani, one of the leaders of the Haqqani Network, a jihadist military force that is part of the Taliban. Sources close to Karzai said that on Monday Karzai himself and Abdullah Abdullah, a former government envoy for reconciliation, also met another member of the Taliban, Amir Khan Motaqi.
