Afghan Americans rally outside White House, blame Biden for debacle

Hundreds of Afghan American protesters gathered outside the White House on Sunday to support Afghan civilians. The group also called on the international community to denounce the Taliban and for President Biden to do more.

One woman who spoke with Fox News broke down in tears.

"My family is there. All my people is there. They’re killing all my people," she wept.

Many Afghan American women feared for the girls left to face the Taliban, which seized power in Afghanistan two weeks before the U.S. was set to complete its troop withdrawal, the AP reported.

"Our girls. The girls who are under 20 don’t know what life is like under Taliban. Their lives are all destroyed. They're all destroyed," two women who have family in Afghanistan told Fox News.

Afghan Americans also feared for their families who are unable to leave. Seven people have been killed Monday at Kabul International Airport as residents tried to flee the country amid the Taliban takeover. Video on social media shows people running, clinging on to planes as they depart............

Afghan Lives Matter


'They're raping our women, they're killing our children. They have no mercy on anyone,' one woman said of the Taliban


Many people gathered in DC Sunday worried for the future of women and girls under the Taliban's brutal rule


Emotions ranged from outraged to devastated as many wondered what would happen to their families back in Afghanistan

They should have asked the Native Americans first about trusting the US Government.

Regardless of who they blame it changes nothing.  I read the signs and one stuck out "Don't land us back to pre 2001".  It's already happened.

Actually what these protesters aren't realizing is who is going to save the United States?

We were there for 20 years.  Why weren't they there fighting for their own country?

Many of them were.  The Afghan army lost more soldiers in the last 12 months than we did in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the last two decades.

Not only did we pull out of Bagram in the middle of the night without telling them, we cut the power.  They lost any and all support for fighting the Taliban overnight.

I agree. The Afghanistan vets that I have heard speak....talk well of the Afghani troops.
