At least three people were killed and more than a dozen were injured in anti-Taliban protests in the Afghan city of Jalalabad, as the Islamist militants moved to consolidate power and Western countries stepped up evacuations of diplomats and civilians
Foreign ministers of the Group of Seven nations are due to discuss the evacuation effort and seek to coordinate flights at a virtual meeting on Thursday, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said.
But Afghanistan would not be a democracy. "It is sharia law and that is it," Waheedullah Hashimi told Reuters. "Everyone wants out," said a member of an Afghan family after they arrived in Germany. "Every day is worse than the day before. We saved ourselves but we couldn't rescue our families." "They will decide whether they should wear hijab, burqa, or only veil plus abaya or something, or not. That is up to them," he told Reuters.Under the Taliban's 1996-2001 rule, women were prevented from working, girls were not allowed to go to school and women had to wear all-enveloping burqas to go out.

The Taliban captured an array of modern military equipment when they overran Afghan forces who failed to defend district centers.
