Afghans pick up arms against the Taliban
Afghan militiamen join Afghan defense and security forces during a gathering in Kabul, Afghanistan, June 23, 2021.
Taliban fighters have taken over several districts since the US announced its unconditional troop withdrawal. To counter the insurgents, some Afghans are taking up arms. And, Ethiopia declared a unilateral ceasefire in the Tigray region on Monday, putting an end to nearly eight months of fighting that pushed hundreds of thousands into starvation. Also, Guam’s surplus of vaccines — and hotel vacancies — has inspired “Guam AirVnV.”
