The Taliban have completely cleared the way for their power by capturing Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. After two decades, the Taliban had already started the campaign to get power, but it has got success in the last four months. The speed with which the Taliban took control of Afghanistan's areas one after the other between April and August is astonishing.
At present, there is an atmosphere of chaos in Kabul after the capture of the Taliban. There is a huge crowd of people leaving the country at Kabul Airport. The deteriorating situation here can be gauged from the fact that bullets have been fired to control the uncontrollable crowd, in which some people are reported to have died. Since the entry of the Taliban, people are competing to leave the country to save their lives.

Let us also tell you here that the situation in Afghanistan as seen today was outlined by former US President Donald Trump.

After forming his government, he had announced that by September 2021, US and NATO forces would withdraw from here.
Since this announcement, in May 2021, the Taliban intensified attacks in Afghanistan and went on snatching one province after another from the Afghan government. During this, the Afghan Air Force and the US also carried out several attacks on the Taliban, in which a large number of Taliban terrorists were killed. But in the end, the Taliban has been successful in capturing Afghanistan.
