President Ashraf Ghani struck a defiant pose yesterday, condemning a wave of Taliban attacks across the country and vowing: “We will never surrender.”
He urged all religious, political and social leaders to condemn the violence and, at one point, shouted: “Enough! No more!”
“This is unacceptable, it is un-Islamic, it is inhuman,” the president said, referring to the death of a university student in an attack targeting parliamentarian Shukria Barakzai and the suicide bombing of a volleyball tournament that killed about 50 people last month.
Most international combat troops are expected to leave the country within a fortnight, 13 years after the US-led invasion.
Taliban fighters have launched a series of high-profile attacks, including targeting foreigners in Kabul.
Insurgents killed at least 19 people on Saturday alone, including 12 clearing landmines in the south of the country and a Supreme Court senior official shot dead outside his home in Kabul.
