Thousands of protesters across Afghanistan are condeming Trump’s decision.

Some burnt effigies of Trump, as well as American and Israeli flags, in Kabul, and a few dozen tried to reach the heavily barricaded US embassy, but were soon pushed back by Afghan security forces.

Around 1,000 protested in Kabul; over 2,500 in the western city of Herat, and roughly 500 in Kunduz, in the northeast, according to AFP.

They join protesters today in Iraq, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, Turkey and Somalia.
