Chaos At Kabul Airport As Thousands Tries To Flee Afghanistan (Pictures) by Explorers(op): 4:33am On Aug 16, 2021

Thousands of desperate Afghans are gathering at Kabul airport in chaotic scenes after the Afghan capital fell to the Taliban who have announced a new 'Islamic Emirate'.

Video from Kabul showed panicked stampedes to the gates of the airport, while some passengers were forced to get off their commercial flights when departures were stopped.

Thousands of passengers were filmed thronging the tarmac by Afghan businessman Shoaib Barak who said he was forced to get off his KamAir flight after boarding and heard gunfire.

The speed of the Taliban advance has taken almost everyone by surprise and Afghans who had booked commercial flights to escape the Taliban face being forced to remain in Afghanistan.

Westerners will be evacuated by their home nations on military flights but the Taliban has said that it will not allow Afghan citizens to leave.

Harrowing pictures show people waiting near Kabul Airport's runway to escape from the country's capital as the Taliban entered the presidential palace.

The scale and speed of the Taliban advance has shocked Afghans and the US-led alliance that poured billions into the country.

This is always the results of a bad politics... Some people in the government financing and giving them backup support..... Now those financing them cannot sleep with their two eye's close ......but the Taliban will be looking for how to get rid of the god father's... There's going to be more issues in that country... Everything will turn upside down....

This move is going to embolden Islamic extremists all over the world.

People might be joking now but with all the various surprises we have been having globally recently, the world might just get more chaotic.

This shows that you can kill and defeat a group of people but it's very difficult to defeat an ideology. After more than twenty years of US presence in Afghanistan, yet they could only win the battle but couldn't win the war.

After wasting billions of tax payers money to fund and train Afghan soldiers, the Talibans encountered not even the least amount of resistance from the US-trained army. I sense sabotage on the path of the trained soldiers.

Lesson to the American government: you can take a horse to the river but you can't force it into drinking.
