Afghanistan: Street scenes from Kabul on Tuesday

Description

Afghan people are seen walking on Kabul roads towards the airport, as Taliban ride on police trucks in other parts of the city. The Taliban moved Tuesday to quickly restart the Afghan capital following their stunning takeover of Kabul and told government staff to return to work, though residents reacted cautiously and few women took to the streets. Tens of thousands of people have tried to flee Afghanistan to escape the hardline Islamist rule expected under the Taliban, or fearing direct retribution for siding with the US-backed government that ruled for the past two decades.
