for the last 20 years there was a war
going on between the taliban a terrorist
group and the afghanistan government and
military
they had first captured kabul the
capital of afghanistan in 1996.
they ruled afghanistan between 1996 to
2001.
during their rule the taliban ruthlessly
governed the afghani people
they had imposed the extremely strict
sharia law
under the law women were not allowed to
work study or go out they were supposed
to stay at home
girls were not allowed to go to school
the rules were very severe
women had to be accompanied by a male
relative in public
the afghan people were suffering under
the extreme rules imposed by the taliban
regime
the taliban were ruthless in their
oppression and executed men and women
for the smallest violation
people lived under fear for a long time
however after 9 11 in 2001 the usa was
livid and its army worked with the
afghanistan army
to expel the taliban from kabul
since then the taliban lived in fear and
there was peace
people were happy under the new
government as well
however recently the u.s called its
troops back
which emboldened the taliban to begin
its encroachment activities
after the usa retreated the afghan
government was not able to stop the
taliban from capturing the country on
the 9th of 15 august police and other
government security forces
suddenly abandoned their uniforms and
even weapons they all feared the taliban
rebels
thousands of security officials
abandoned their posts then the taliban
captured the presidential palace
afghanistan president ashraf ghani
stepped down as the president and fled
the country
late at night fighters in pickup trucks
and suvs did victory rounds in the heart
of kabul
civilians panicked and left their homes
people packed all essential items food
and emptied their bank accounts to
escape the country
when the word of the taliban's rival
spread people panicked and there were
massive traffic jams
people feared the imposition of the
strict rules this is why everyone wanted
to leave the country
people rushed to various foreign
embassies to secure visas to leave the
country
there were traffic snarls everywhere
there was absolute chaos at the
immigration counter of the kabul airport
as people rushed to leave the country
various embassies rushed to evacuate
their staff fearing the taliban's
arrival
many civilians also tried to escape
air india flight took off from kabul on
15 august and landed at delhi airport
last night
people were relieved to escape the new
taliban regime
there were a total of 129 people on
board one of the women said that
the taliban are going to kill my friends
the women are going to be tortured as
they do not have rights anymore
i am very scared for the women in
afghanistan
another shocking news has emerged
at the kabul airport civilians flocked
the tarmac desperately trying to board a
u.s flight

the military tried to control the crowds
but people rushed to enter the plane
unable to contain the crowds the army
