Image from total chaos in traffic in Kabul

Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, has now fallen to the hands of Taliban militants while the presidential palace has been occupied.

The images from the Daily Mail show the total chaos involving the city from which many civilian persons are seeking to leave.

Taliban troops took over Afghanistan's capital today, while they used American troops from the country to oust Afghan government forces and take power.

Afghan President left during the day by plane and did not decide to hand over the Taliban power peacefully.

China and Russia expect to establish reports with Taliban leaders, and others recognise Afghanistan's legitimate authorities. Meanwhile, embassies of Western countries are pending evacuation until the personnel of several embassies have already left. 5,000 American soldiers are expected to deploy instead of ensuring the safe evacuation of them and the Afghan citizens who helped Americans during their stay.
