Tausende demonstrieren gegen Taliban in Kandahar


FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Die Wut in der südafghanischen Stadt Kandahar ist groß. 3000 Familien sollen eine Wohnsiedlung des Militärs binnen drei Tagen räumen. Die Taliban selbst weisen Berichte über tödliche Machtkämpfe an ihrer Spitze zurück.

ENTEIGNUNG VON FAMILIEN

In der südafghanischen Stadt Kandahar haben Tausende Menschen gegen die radikal-islamischen Taliban protestiert. Die Menge habe sich vor dem Regierungssitz des Gouverneurs versammelt, nachdem rund 3000 Familien aufgefordert wurden, eine Wohnsiedlung des Militärs zu räumen, sagte ein Mitarbeiter der ehemaligen Regierung am Dienstag der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters. Zudem waren auf Videoaufnahmen örtlicher Medien Menschen zu sehen, die eine Straße in der Stadt blockierten.

In der Siedlung leben bislang Angehörige von Armee-Mitgliedern, manche von ihnen schon seit über 30 Jahren. Nach Angaben des früheren Regierungsmitarbeiters wurden ihnen drei Tage Zeit gegeben, um das Areal zu verlassen. Von den Taliban war zunächst keine Stellungnahme zu bekommen. » | Quelle: Reuters | Dienstag, 14. September 2021

Nine Killed and 81 Injured in Kandahar Protest against US Burning of Qur'an

THE GUARDIAN: Violence mars demonstration in Afghan city the day after mob killed seven at UN compound

Nine people have been killed and 81 injured in the Afghan city of Kandahar during a demonstration against the burning of a Qur'an by Christian extremists in the US.

Violence erupted as hundreds of demonstrators marched through Kandahar a day after seven foreigners were killed when an angry mob stormed a United Nations compound in the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif. Hundreds of people took part in the protest. Gunfire was heard and cars were set on fire.

In a statement, the Kandahar governor's office claims demonstrators were incited by the Taliban. Authorities say 17 people, including seven armed men, have been arrested.

But the Taliban have rejected the accusation. "The Taliban had nothing to do with this, it was a pure act of responsible Muslims," spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told Reuters.

The UN mission in Afghanistan has been plunged into jeopardy after the violent protest in Mazar-e Sharif. » | David Batty and agencies | Saturday, April 02, 2011
