KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban have violently broken up a protest in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least one person as they quashed a rare public show of dissent. That comes as they met Wednesday with Afghan officials from the Western-backed government they toppled. As officials work to shape a future government, the United Arab Emirates acknowledged that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani was in that country. The Taliban’s every action in their sudden sweep to power is being watched closely. They insist they have changed and won’t impose the same draconian restrictions they did when they last ruled Afghanistan. But many Afghans remain deeply skeptical, and the violent response to Wednesday’s protest could only fuel their fears.
