Taliban captured Kabul on Aug 15 and took control over Afghanistan.
As the last US military flight carrying troops left the Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul on Aug 30, the United States completed the withdrawal of its forces from Afghanistan, ending a two-decade-long war ignominiously with Taliban in control.
The last three US military evacuation flights departed HKIA just ahead of the August 31 deadline. The last one, a C-17 Globemaster transport plane, took off from the Kabul airport at 3:29 pm. East Coast Time, Russia Today (RT) reported quoting General Kenneth McKenzie, head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
Foreign correspondents in Kabul reported how Taliban fighters rejoinced the historic event with celebratory gunfires after the American withdrawal from Afghanistan was officially completed.
