Belgium: Afghan nationals have organized a series of protests, living in various countries since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in mid-August.

The members of Afghanistan's diaspora residing in Belgium organized a protest in the capital of Brussels on Monday. The protest was organized at the Schuman Circle, in front of the European Commission (EC) and the European External Action Service (EEAS) building. The protest was against the Taliban's hostile takeover of their country Afghanistan. The members raised a slogan against Pakistan for its alleged support and involvement with the Taliban.
