US military is taking control of the chaos at Kabul airport. Tragic scenes everywhere. Families will be split apart. Allies left behind. A preventable tragedy. If only @POTUS & his team had listened to our constant warnings. #KabulHasFallen #KabulAirlift #AfghanCollapse pic.twitter.com/xsFziD9BCm

“Thank God Taliban Afghanistan War Over” Said Taliban’s Spokesperson
On the other hand, the Taliban’s spokesperson has assured that they only want peace in-country and are ready to discuss the international issues with other countries. We are ready to talk with all Afghan figures and also assured their protection, said spokesperson Mohammed Naeem to Al Jazeera TV.

“Blood On Biden’s Hand”
U.S. President Joe Biden is under the soup for his decision to step back from Afghanistan that gave the upper hand Taliban.
He is receiving criticism and former leaders are raising questions over his presidency. One of the members of the House Foreign Relations Committee said “This is going to be a stain on this President and his presidency.”
Joe has not given any formal response to any of the questions raised upon him. UNSC will discuss the Taliban Afghanistan conflict on Monday.
