[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] "Long live the Resistance," "Death to Pakistan"?hundreds of men and women gathered in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, shouted slogans and were killed by gunfire from the Islamic militant group Taliban.

According to local foreign media including Russia's Sputnik News, on the 7th (local time), the Taliban opened fire on anti-Pakistan protesters in Kabul, injuring several people. Witnesses reported that multiple people were wounded in the shooting, but the exact number of casualties has not been confirmed.

Taliban members fired shots at dozens of protesters near the Pakistani Embassy in Kabul. One protest participant said, "At first, the Taliban fired into the air, but later they fired directly at the protesters."

The protesters were reportedly holding signs demanding "Pakistan stay out of Afghan affairs" when they were shot. The Taliban also confiscated cameras from journalists on site and reportedly arrested some protesters.

Most of those participating in the protest were women. The Taliban continues its reign of terror, including violations of women's rights. Since the Taliban regained power on August 15, most Afghan women have stayed indoors and refrained from going out, but they have gradually begun to raise their voices this month.

Pakistan is also a target of criticism. Pakistan is known to have actively supported the Taliban and involved itself in Afghan affairs since the mid-1990s. Some have pointed out that Pakistan provided personnel and supplies not only during the Taliban's recent takeover of Afghanistan but also during attacks on resistance strongholds.

Meanwhile, the Taliban has announced that the government will be announced soon. According to Sputnik News, Taliban spokesperson Amrullah Mutaki said, "All procedures are complete, and there will be a major announcement." One foreign media outlet reported, "Although the Taliban has not disclosed the timing, it is estimated that the new government will be formed on September 11, coinciding with the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks."
