Afghan Women Continue To Protest Day After New Taliban Govt Excludes Women From Cabinet

Women in Afghanistan are protesting against the formation of an all-male Taliban government to rule the country. Protesters said they would not accept a government with no female ministers. The Taliban warned that such protests were illegal, reported BBC. Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State said the Taliban's government "certainly does not meet the test of inclusivity.” However, China on September 8 said that it welcomed the end of what it called "three weeks of anarchy" in Afghanistan. China pledged $31m (£22m) in immediate aid. National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF) have urged the international community not to recognise the new government. Watch the video to know more.
