UPDATED: Taliban Renames Afghanistan As A Country
After taken over the Afghanistan seat of power, the Taliban has renamed the country to the ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’.
….The media had been filled with reports that many Afghans in a bid to leave the Middle East country had ran alongside a US military plane as it taxied on the runway while several clung to the side as the jet took off with Senior US military officials.
….The US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 that ousted the insurgents from power did not succeed in completely removing the Taliban’s who had ran the country in the late 1990s.
As reported by the CNN, hundreds of people poured onto the tarmac at Kabul’s international airport, desperately seeking a route out of Afghanistan on Monday after the Taliban’s sudden seizure of power sparked a chaotic Western withdrawal and brought to a crashing end the United States’ two-decade mission in the country, while US President Joe Biden had stated that his country cannot continue to fight a war that Afghanistan are not ready to fight.
….The President said measures are been put in place to ensure the safe evacuation of US officials and those residents that have been of great help to the US, disclosing that additional troops would be deployed to secure the Kabul international airport.
