In just seven days, Taliban have captured Afghanistan by winning city after city. With women disappearing from the streets and men donning traditional attire, people who remember the ultra conservative militant rule desperately want to flee the nation.
The U.S., which is facing criticism for the “mess in Afghanistan,” has evacuated more than 3,200 people from Kabul. U.S. President Joe Biden and British prime minister Boris Johnson had a conversation with each other on the situation of Afghanistan and agreed to hold a virtual G7 leaders’ meeting next week to discuss a common strategy and approach, the White House said.
