Give it another week and all will be forgotten. The news will move and on one will give a damn about Afghanistan or Afghans. I see that some of them are still blaming Pakistan for all their problems. So infuriating and makes me very angry............
No different. They are as usual. In my company, there is one Afghani. He stopped talking to me since the Taliban has taken over.
where were these Afghan patriots for the last 20 years? Of course, enjoying english tea and crumpets
Why is it that in whatever muslim nation these whities go in to destroy it's flag is always Red, Green and White/Black?Thousands of protestors have descended on central London today to demonstrate against Britain's response to the Afghanistan crisis.
Marchers rallied outside Downing Street and took over Oxford Circus and Hyde Park as they criticised the government's handling of the Taliban seizing the Middle East nation.
Men and women let off green and red flares in the street, waved the country's flag and held up huge banners during the protest.
The Taliban launched their final assault on Kabul on Sunday and seized power after President Ashraf Ghani fled to Dubai, reportedly with a wad of cash and luxury cars.
The West's immediate response has been widely criticised as it evacuates citizens but largely leaves Afghans in the hands of the brutal Islamists.

Protesters today braved the rain as they took to central London to call for Britain to do more to help stranded civilians and stand up to the terror group.
They walked down the road in a blur of red and green - two of the colours in the Afghanistan flag - after setting off flares.
One banner said: 'Stop oppression of Afghan women.' Another read: 'Talib has not changed.' While one more added: 'We want peace.' The Metropolitan Police has been approached for comment.
Nato countries have been flying their citizens out of Afghanistan this week and it is believed 12,000 have so far been rescued.
But there have been raised eyebrows about the approach to Afghan civilians, with the criteria to get on an evacuation plane being widely questioned.
Protesters wielded numerous banners, one of which read 'We Want Peace'. Another said: 'Stop killing Afghans'
Pictured near Downing Street, the protesters called for an end to the bloodshed in Afghanistan as evacuations continued from Kabul airport

As they marched through Central London, another protesters held a poster which simply read: 'Afghanistan is bleeding'
Some of those who gathered also wielded coloured smoke grenades which let off plumes of red and green into the air

The Mail revealed on Thursday that Mr Raab had been advised by senior officials to call Afghan foreign minister Hanif Atmar to help get Afghan translators out of the country
Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy said: 'There is no defence for Dominic Raab's shameful negligence and his failure to act may have cost lives. It is unbelievable that even now the Foreign Secretary is wasting time making excuses when a catastrophe is still unfolding in front of our eyes.'
Earlier, Lord Robertson, who was Nato secretary general on 9/11, accused Mr Raab of 'a dereliction of duty of major consequence'. Asked if the Foreign Secretary's statement had satisfactorily answered questions about his actions, the former defence secretary replied: 'No, it doesn't at all.'
He told BBC Radio 4's World At One: 'Foreign ministers only talk to foreign ministers – they don't talk to junior ministers.
'So he should have been talking to the foreign minister of Afghanistan much earlier than last Friday anyway.
'Common sense would have suggested that the Foreign Secretary should have been trying to sort out the exit of our vulnerable people before that.'
The former Labour foreign secretary Jack Straw said he would never delegate a call with his Afghan counterpart to another minister and he was 'surprised' that Mr Raab did so.
But the Prime Minister last night dismissed calls to sack his Foreign Secretary. Asked if he had full confidence in Mr Raab, Mr Johnson said: 'Absolutely.'
Asked if people had been left in Afghanistan as a result of Mr Raab not making the phone call, he said: 'No, I don't think that's the case.'

Protesters take over Downing Street over handling of Afghanistan
Marchers rallied outside Downing Street and took over Oxford Circus and Hyde Park as they criticised the government's handling of the Taliban seizing the Middle East nation.www.dailymail.co.uk
Very few anti-Pakistani slogans (a handful), no flag burning like we saw in Brussels etc. They seem to be more focussed on the IEA. Out of a community of around 100,000 many came, I'd estimate at last 12,000.
Anyway the comments were again eye opening and there is no sympathy at all anywhere for that matter from the British people.
Top rated comment;
"Maybe they should go back to Afghanistan and fight for their own country instead of demonstrating against the very people who helped them".
I don't think they realise the damage these demos are doing to their cause.
