The Afghan government is keeping mum after a recent truck bombing, the deadliest in 16 years in the country, killed at least 90 people. The silence has prompted many to protest at the blast site, demanding the government takes action.
A day after the bomb struck Kabul, people of the city screamed for answers and leadership change. Some even chanted death to Afghanistan's two leaders.
A small but loud crowd gathered at the blast site of Kabul's truck bomb, refusing to leave until their demands for resignation of key government positions were met, CGTN’s Catherine James reported from Kabul.
For some protesters, it meant returning to the site of utter destruction where they'd searched in vain for loved ones amid dying, charred and torn bodies.
Many blame the international community who promise security and prosperity, as the yearly death toll of Afghans from conflict continues to rise. This year is set to break another civilian deaths record.
The clean up of the bomb site continues but a screen has been erected to prevent footage of the scene.
Kabul's acting mayor said that the blast had impacted properties within a four-kilometer radius and 200 trucks have already been filled with debris.
Meanwhile, the demonstrators are maintaining a vigil at the site.
But with no answers as to how something of this magnitude can be prevented from happening again, Kabul remains on edge.
