An anti-Taliban demonstration took place at Republica Square in the heart of Rome.

The event saw a gathering of around 100 people including Afghan expats from Pashton, Uzbek and Tajik communities.

Several Italians and media persons joined the event in a show of expression of solidarity with the Afghan citizens.

Holding anti-Taliban and anti-Pakistan banners, several Afghans came with their families. The four-hour event witnessed sloganeering and speeches by the community members requesting the world not to abandon the Afghans.

Speaking at the event, Nadir, who is Afghan studies professor in different Universities in Italy, highlighted the illegitimacy of the proclaimed Emirate by the Taliban.

He stated that the Taliban usurped the power by treachery and deceiving everyone by pretending until the last minute that they are willing to negotiate for the creation of a provisional government to lead the country to new elections.
