Herat: Announcing their support for Afghanistan government forces, locals united   against Taliban and marched the streets of the western city of Herat on Monday night.

They were heard chanting ' Allahu Akbar' as they vowed to protect the province from the terrorists.

They also celebrated the advances of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces in their fight against the Taliban in southern parts of Herat city. Monday was the sixth day of the fighting in Herat, reports Tolo News.

The move was widely welcomed by other Afghans across the country who created a hashtag of “Herat uprising” and “Allahu Akbar,” announcing their support to the Heratis, the news portal reported.

First Vice President Amrullah Saleh welcomed the move and tweeted: " Herat is calling. Tonight Herat is chanting loud & clear "All Akbar". God is great. God isn't a toy in the hands of the Talib terrorists. Herat is roaring. God isn't a Pakistani product. Tonight Heratis are either in the street or out on the rooftops showing support to ANDSF."

Afghanistan is witnessing rising violence by Taliban forces ever since the foreign forces started leaving the country.

The Taliban has captured several regions in the country.
