Following the Taliban’s announcement of a newly-appointed government, the militant leaders have used whips and sticks to attack women protesting in Kabul

Protestors lined the streets on Wednesday, chanting “long live the women of Afghanistan” and “no government can deny the presence of women”

Witnesses also say the Taliban beat a number of journalists who were at the demonstration.

This is the latest in a string of cases whereby women have stood up to the Taliban’s rule, with female Afghans wearing hijabs taking part in a protest on Tuesday – the largest since the Taliban claimed control of the nation.

It comes as the Taliban warn Afghanistan’s residents that protestors need permission to march, and they must not use “abusive language”.

Meanwhile, the European Union says the Islamist group has failed to deliver on promises to make their government “inclusive and representative”.

This follows the US Secretary of State saying the Taliban’s government “certainly does not meet the test of inclusivity”.
