Taliban fighters chant victory slogans next to the US embassy in Kabul as they mark the first anniversary of their return to power in Afghanistan, following a turbulent 12 months that has seen women's rights crushed and a humanitarian crisis worsen.
Afghanistan's Taliban government marks the second anniversary of their return to power with celebrations and a national holiday. In the city of Herat, while some celebrate in the streets, one woman laments the "nightmare" of female oppression ushered in by the Taliban rule.
As the Taliban celebrate two years since their return to power in Afghanistan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin says that the "US military, political and counter-terrorism efforts in Afghanistan are a complete failure". The US were present in Afghanistan for 20 years.
Hundreds of Taliban members flood the streets of Kabul with flags, fireworks and the sound of gunfire to mark one year since the final withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan.
Taliban supporters and senior figures hold their first mass rally outside Kabul, in a show of strength as they consolidate their rule of Afghanistan. No foreign government has yet recognised the Islamist former rebels' rule, but their hold on power within the country is all but unchallenged seven weeks after they took the capital. The official victory gathering in Kohdaman township, in the hilly outskirts of the capital, was attended by 1,500 men and boys. (COMPLETES VIDI9NZ6P3_EN)N°9P26D6
