Restraint in Kabul, but executions, killings of officials, captured soldiers in other places. Barely any women in Kabul. Residents scared.

Taliban largely showing restraint in #Kabul, which the world is watching closely.

But very different story in other cities/provinces, where there have been summary executions/revenge killings of govt officials, captured soldiers, and civilians affiliated with govt.

New normal in #Kabul:

Barely any women in the streets. Many of those out are wearing burqas, accompanied by a male relative.

Some parts of the city still eerily quiet. In other areas, bazaars reopening, people out

Many still hiding in their homes, too scared to venture out.
