Kabul/CMEDIA: A spike in armed robberies in some parts of Afghanistan’s capital by irresponsible armed robbers has been criticised by some Kabul residents, directtng country’s Taliban government to ensure the security of the people,
“Everyone abuses the Islamic Emirate’s name and uniform. They stop the people wherever they want, they are responsible for the robberies,” Mohammad Zubair, a resident of Kabul, told Tolo News.
