Protesters took to the streets in Afghanistan on Wednesday, burning
an effigy of the US president and shouting “death to Obama”
to slam civilian deaths during Western military operations.
Hundreds of university students blocked main roads in Jalalabad,
capital of eastern Nangahar province, to protest the alleged deaths of
10 civilians, mostly school children, in a Western military operation
on Saturday.
“The government must prevent such unilateral operations
otherwise we will take guns instead of pens and fight against them
(foreign forces),” students from the University of
Nangahar’s education faculty said in a statement.
Marching through the main street of Jalalabad, the students chanted
“death to Obama” and “death to foreign forces”,
witnesses said.
