Kabul: The provincial governor of the eastern Khost province Muhammad Nabi Omari directed residents of the province to collect and remove Afghanistan flag from the rooftops of their homes and houses and from their vehicles, media reports said.

The provincial head of the Taliban in a gathering on Saturday, February 26, 2022, said that the citizens of Khost province only have three days to remove flags, Khaama Press reported.

“You are given only three days to remove the flags from your homes, shops, and cars. Hanging the white flag of the Taliban is optional and no one is forcing you to do that but the previous flag is no longer acceptable,” Muhammad Nabi Omari told the news agency.

The Taliban government in Kabul did not comment on the matter so far.
