Commenting on former President Obama's Instagram page was briefly suspended Monday morning as commenters urged the former president to do something about the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.
Obama has yet to issue a public statement on the rapidly declining situation in Afghanistan, as thousands of people try to flee the country that fell to Taliban rule in a matter of days.
Obama’s Instagram posts said, "Comments on this post have been limited" for roughly two hours Monday morning. His most recent post, a video Thursday touting his All on the Line redistricting campaign, garnered 885 comments before it was shut down Monday.
"Afghanistan needs your help. Please please help Afghanistan," one commenter wrote.
"The blood of the #Afghan people is on the hands of those who have remained silent in the face of oppression and have made friends with the Taliban," wrote another. "History will not forget your crime."
"What did we accomplish in Afghanistan if we turn tail and run now?" asked another. "They need us! That is not the American way! We do not surrender and run! We stay and fight and until the issues are resolved which is true independence!"
Commenters posted the hashtags #help_afghanistan and #afghanistanisbleeding, among others, before being cut off.
The commenting on former first lady Michelle Obama's Instagram page was also turned off during the same period of time.
An Obama spokesperson told Fox News she had just learned about the pause and that there was "no intentionality on our side" or an explanation for why it happened.

Obama has remained mum on the situation while Biden's handling of Afghanistan has also come into question.

Are they saying Obama is really running the Circus ?
He wouldn’t lift a finger to help his own ambassador or 32 other Americans in Benghazi so why do these numbnuts 0bama worshipers think he’ll help these Americans?
LOL. Like Hussein cares.
Obummer is probably orchestrating it all behind the scenes.
I searched Obama Twitter, and that looks pretty quiet, too.
See my tagline for a clue.
The fatal mistake for the Republic was swearing in someone born a British subject/Kenyan national by his own admission.
Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.
BOTH parties wanted the natural born citizen clause neutered.
Signed.. Barack Obama
Resettle them in the middle east
He’s thin skinned
This isn’t Biden’s failure it’s Obama’s success.
