The Taliban are everywhere, at the checkpoints that were once the official police or army barricades. There's no panic in town today.

The Taliban are searching roads and cars, especially vehicles that once belonged to police and military. The Taliban have taken all the police and military vehicles and are using them.

In downtown, life is normal. Traffic is much less. Most stores are closed. But people look much calmer than yesterday, when everyone was angry.

I saw one, two women on the street. They were wearing anti-Covis masks and a scarf on their heads. They were walking down the street, making the Taliban behave well with them.

There's no music on the street. I'm staying at the Serena Hotel, where they used to play music in the background. People are scared. But the city is still continuing.

But the scene at the airport was catastrophic. Families, children, young people, older ones, were all walking to the airport, struggling to escape this country.

The closer you get to the main doors of the airport's entrance, the more you get to the heavy ammunition talibas in an effort to disperse the crowd, shooting into the air.

The people who wanted to enter the airport were climbing the walls, even crossing the razor wire, even the gates.
