So much for 'Taliban 2.0': Fighters shoot dead journalist as he raises Afghan flag in defiance at Jalalabad protest as Kabul 'car thief' is tarred and locals claim woman was shot dead for not wearing a burqa in rural province
https://www.dailymail.co.uk ^ | 03:51 EDT, 18 August 2021 | UPDATED: 11:56 EDT, 18 August 2021 | By ROSS IBBETSON and ROB CRILLY, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

*The Taliban's 'Angels of Salvation' are going door-to-door to round up suspected looters amid chaos in Kabul

*Footage shows alleged thieves being dragged out of their homes at gunpoint and being shamed in the street

*Robbers have their faces tarred and are strapped up to the backs of trucks to be paraded through the city

*Journalist Zahidullah Nazirzada was reportedly shot dead today raising the Afghan national flag in Jalalabad

*A young woman was shot dead by Taliban in north of the country for reportedly refusing to wear a hijab

*Harrowing image shows her parents crouching next to her body as she lies in a pool of blood last week

*The jihadists have been dubbed 'Taliban 2.0' for their media charm offensive and claims that they are modern

*But damning evidence proves they still cling to their barbaric world view as they bar refugees from fleeing

*There was a stampede at the airport on Tuesday as fighters marched around with guns firing warning shots

*Video showed despairing women at the gates of the airport pleading with US troops to let them through

*A 21-year-old ex-teacher who fled to Kabul earlier this year said she was now afraid to leave the house

*An ex-interpreter watched as the Taliban raided his home via an app as he remains holed up in a safehouse

*One man said he saw his neighbour being dragged out of his house, the Taliban said he would hang tomorrow

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT:

The Taliban's new 'moderate' facade has already crumbled with images emerging today of alleged thieves being tarred and strapped to trucks, and reports of a journalist shot dead for raising a flag and of a woman killed for refusing to wear a burqa.

Afghanistan had 20 years to do something about this. Instead they put crooks in office who only cared about getting rich.

Neah, the ones they got are doing a great job. They are saying all the right things. They are trolling Creepy Uncle Joe. They apparently have a better understanding of us than we do of them.

When the time comes for the Taliban to raid the Capitol, will the Capitol police protect Nancy and her likes as vigorously as they did against the December 6 crowd? Perhaps not unless the Taliban wear MAGA caps.
