The Taliban has renamed Afghanistan the ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’ after its fighters swept into the capital, Kabul, a bustling metropolis of six million that has turned into a male-dominated city without police or traffic controls.

Aljazeera reports that scores of Afghans ran alongside a US military plane as it taxied on the runway and several clung to the side as the jet took off with Senior US military officials confirming to Aljazeera that the chaos left seven dead, as well as several who fell from the flight.

According to AP, the Taliban, a militant group that ran the country in the late 1990s, have again taken control.

The US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 ousted the insurgents from power, but they never left.

After they blitzed across the country in recent days, the Western-backed government that has run the country for 20 years collapsed.

CNN reports that hundreds of people poured onto the tarmac at Kabul’s international airport, desperately seeking a route out of Afghanistan on Monday after the Taliban’s sudden seizure of power sparked a chaotic Western withdrawal and brought to a crashing end the United States’ two-decade mission in the country.

Meanwhile, at a special session of the UN Security Council in New York, UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, urged Taliban to show “the utmost restraint to protect lives” and demanded that anyone who wanted to leave the country must be able to do so.

US President Joe Biden also received a briefing by top security officials on the situation in Afghanistan, the White House said.

“This morning, the President was briefed by his national security team, including the Secretary of Defense and Chairman Milley, on the security situation at Hamid Karzai International Airport, and ongoing efforts to safely evacuate American citizens, US Embassy personnel and local staff, SIV (special immigrant visa) applicants and their families, and other vulnerable Afghans,” it said in a statement.

Did you know??


They can stop loving you. But they can't stop you from loving yourself.

It's sad, and I really pity the innocent people of Afghanistan, but that's the reality.

Power has changed hands and along with it comes CHANGE.

Pierocash:
how can you pity people who want Islamic rule.

Afghanistans supported the Talibans and still want to run away after Taliban captured the country. Are they not confused?

I think it's a misconception to think that the whole of the country wants Islamic rule. There are dissenters, supporters and members of the deposed government. In twenty years, most Afghanistanis had developed a liberal approach to life; not to talk of the youthful population who were not exposed to Taliban terror reign of the past. These people cannot feel secured in a Taliban run government, despite assurances to the contrary. They will want to seek every means to escape.

Their renaming will not stand!
Totalitarian govts don't last. See Muslim brotherhood of Moh'd Morsi in Egypt.

They will still need food and other supplies from the outside world, and with their women not working, then they will realize that no nation is an island!

I wish postinor 2 was available then.How people whose religion hates any form of freedom and is adopted in their state law, without opposition by d people, yet they want to go to Christian land, which funny enough, use our free secular
laws.as long as I no kidnapp, Robb person,kill I wetin concern person with my personal life?. All buhari, atiku, saraki, babangida, e.t.c kids are in Western countries. They will not go to islam countries, while they themselves are moooslims. The other day, one midjet and tinubu go London to enjoy themselves.

Now that the country's name has been linked with Religion.. ISLAM
Does that means unemployment will reduce?
Does that mean healthcare systems will be put in place?
Does that means inflation will be tackled?

Religion will not bring any change


Hummn

They just took back what's rightfully theirs.

Early warning signs to Nigeria.

The Main guys neva show sef, all these ones wey just dey siddon for seat una go clear when mullah arrives.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Co-Founder and former leader of the Taliban has been rumored to become the new President.

Also, current leader Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada could also be the President. Time will tell.

The US tried for Afghanistan, but it's left for the Afghan people now to take their destiny into their own hands. I believe the Taliban might have slightly become reformed while in Absentia

I refuse to believe that the Taliban is a terrorist group just because the west termed them so. The Taliban are legitimate rulers of Afghanistan. Know this and know peace

The only social liberal thinkers in the Muslim Arab Islamo-fascist world are dead ones.

Every freedom you take for granted will be taken away by this Taliban government of Satan.

I’m learning a lot from this issue
