The family members of Ikramullah called on the Islamic Emirate to hold the perpetrators accountable.
“They are drug-addicted people. They bring a pistol and put it on the people and tell them to ‘pull out your phone and money,’” said Taj Mohammad Faqiri, a resident of Kabul.
“I call on the government to provide security and assess the checkpoints,” said Parwiz, a resident of Kabul.
The residents of Kabul called on the Islamic Emirate to launch night patrols and increase the number of security checkpoints.
“The Islamic Emirate may increase the number of checkpoints,” a resident said.
