The first signs of civil unrest since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan are emerging – small demonstrations have been reported in a handful of cities. Witnesses say the Taliban shot dead three protesters who were waving the national flag in Jalalabad. Taliban fighters are reported to have fired shots into the air to disperse crowds trying to reach Kabul airport. The Islamist insurgents have said repeatedly that they have changed and want peace – but many Afghans find that hard to believe.
DW speaks to Mark Jacobson. He was an adviser to former US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter and served as Deputy NATO Representative in Afghanistan from 2009 to 2011. He calls the troop withdrawal a mistake.
Meanwhile, A plane carrying evacuees from Afghanistan has arrived at Frankfurt Airport – the first of a number of special Lufthansa flights bringing German citizens and Afghans to Germany.

Chaotic scenes continue outside Kabul airport as desperate Afghans and foreign nationals try to flee, and at least 12 people have died at the airport since Sunday.
Among the crowd outside the airport there are many British residents and nationals, as well as Europeans, waiting for their turn inside the gates.
It has taken days for people to get to the gates although many have the right paperwork, and they say the ordeal has been horrendous and dangerous.
While the British soldiers try to deal with large numbers of UK nationals and people clear to go to Britain, they have also taken in hundreds who should be at the American base instead.
Taking them to the right base is a logistical nightmare, as protecting them as well as the base from being overrun is difficult.
People of all ages are gathered outside the gates, and are confused, upset, tired and desperate.
In single file the evacuees heading to America are brought from one camp and directed to another, with whole families attempting to escape the Taliban.
