Two days since the Taliban takeover of Kabul, residents in the nation’s capital on Tuesday urged the Taliban to reopen government offices so daily life could return to normal in the city.

Although more people can be seen on the streets in the past few days, the majority of shops and businesses are still closed in the city.

Residents said that those people who were serving in the ranks of the Afghan security agencies should be called back to serve at their posts and that the Taliban must assure the people that they are capable of protecting the people’s lives and properties.

Aminullah, a father of three children, said that his shop has remained closed for the past three days.

“The people are frightened and confused,” said Aminullah.

“The people, including shopkeepers and business owners, should continue their work so that the citizens are not faced with problems,” said Jalaluddin, a resident of Kabul.

“If nobody is the leader of the country, if there isn't someone in charge of security, then we feel fear and we prefer to stay home,” said Shafiq, a resident in Kabul.

Residents told TOLOnews they are afraid when they see the Taliban without a recognized uniform.

“Ordinary people are afraid because they see them in diverse attire, they cannot readily identify who are Taliban members,” said Sardar Wali, a resident in Kabul.

“Now that the Taliban has taken over, they should join the government so that the people can get rid of war and destruction,” said Sardar Wali, a resident in Kabul.

The Taliban have said that they are attempting to normalize daily life in the city.
