Gunshots echoed around Kabul early on Tuesday morning (August 31) as Taliban soldiers celebrated the exit of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, marking the end of a 20-year war that left the country at the mercy of jihadi militants.
Footage shows gunfire, cheers, and whistles ringing throughout the capital while the Taliban took control of the Hamid Karzai International Airport, the site of much chaos as thousands of Afghans tried to escape from the militant regime.
