Summary

Some young women fainted from the shock.Saifullah says the brutality of the crime makes it quite clear that it an ISIL attack, but others are less convinced.Students have held protest against lack of security for people [Fatima Hossaini/Al Jazeera]Najib Wardak, a security official who took part in a candlelight vigil on Monday evening, says he does not buy the Taliban’s denial.“I saw what happened inside, there was a white Taliban flag drenched in blood and ‘Long Live the Islamic Emirate’ scrolled on the wall, why would Daesh do that?” he asked, using the Arabic acronym to refer to ISIL.In a statement, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, a professor himself who had previously served as the university’s Chancellor, made sure to mention the Taliban by name, saying, “This attack will not go without response, we will retaliate.”On Tuesday, the country’s first Vice President Amrullah Saleh also pointed finger of blame towards the Taliban, which rejected the claims.The west-backed government announced a day of mourning in the wake of the attack that has shocked Afghans.On the gates of the university, signs reading “Boycott Doha talks” were hung by the following morning as social media users tried to get a similar hashtag trending online.Wardak said the talks must immediately come to an end and that Kabul must convene an emergency meeting with Washington to sort out why the peace process has borne no fruit.Realising that the attack came on the eve of a US election in which both candidates have expressed a desire to pull out American troops, Wardak says the people of Afghanistan have a clear message for both incumbent President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden.“The United States took the lead on the matter of Afghan peace and now they can’t just leave us behind, they have to finish what they started.
