[News] Taliban are killing innocent children during their rampage across Afghanistan, former interior minister claims as he posts photos of dead bodies on Twitter

Afghanistan’s former interior minister has alleged that the Taliban are killing innocent children.

 

 

Masoud Andarabi, who was sacked by the now former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani in March, posted shocking photos on Twitter of people, including a small child, who had allegedly been killed by Taliban fighters.

 

He claimed that the group, who now control the country, ‘are trying to rule over people by terrorizing, killing young children and elderly citizens.’

 

 

Andarabi added that the Taliban ‘cannot govern the nation’ using such terror methods.

 

Andarabi added in his tweet: ‘In Andarab, taliban have been carrying out unwarranted searches of homes, capturing people without reason or justification and killing innocent citizens.

 

 

‘As a result, people have had to rise against their brutality to protect their lives, honor, dignity and property.’

 

In another deveoplement, the main resistance group who are continuing to fight the Taliban have denied that their surrender was being negotiated.

 

Ex-Afghan soldiers – many trained by Western troops – have joined forces with local militia from a base in the Panjshir Valley, north-east of Kabul.  The group is fighting under the banner The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan [NRF] and is led by Sandhurst-trained Ahmad Massoud.
