On August 15, 2021, Kabul fell back into the hands of the Taliban, without much resistance. A date celebrated a year later by the Islamist power now in place.
Scenes of measured joy and no official ceremony. A year after taking power, the Taliban celebrated their “liberation day”Monday, August 15. “Our country was poor, at war, with incessant bombardments. For us today, we are celebrating liberation”, says a young man. “Death to America, death to the UN”, the slogans are vindictive and hostile to the West. In the center of Kabul, the Taliban parade, among men. Women’s rights have been violently regressed. Some are protesting and demanding the right to work and education through a video posted on the Internet.
If he prides himself on having restored order and security, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as it claims to be today, is struggling with Daesh, which is increasing targeted attacks and acts of terrorism. The Taliban claim to have the situation under control and even broadcast the response to this attack on Afghan television. The civilian population remains terrorized after a year under the yoke of the Taliban.
