The Taliban are expected to announce the new government
This is the last American soldier, Major General Chris Donahue, who left Afghan soil last night. On Monday, US military aircraft completed the evacuations, a day ahead of schedule, ending a 20-year presence in the country. And the night turned into day from the festive fireworks of this occasion.
Joy is also expressed by firing guns in the air, as is the tradition. The airport is already in the hands of the Taliban militants, whose enthusiasm is also visible in this video made by them, immediately after the final departure of the Americans.
During a press conference, where he announced the end of the American mission in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that Washington will continue to help all those who want to leave this country. He promised a new era of American engagement in Afghanistan. 200 American citizens still remain in this country.
Allies have evacuated over 123 people, most of them Afghan collaborators and refugees. It is expected that this week, the Taliban will also announce the new government, with a system different from the last 20 years, the Islamic Emirate under the governance model in Iran, with a supreme leader.

This is what leadership looks like 👇🏼. The last US soldier on the ground in Afghanistan was the Commanding General of the 82nd Airborne Division, Major General Chris Donahue. He made sure all of the troops got out safely, first, before boarding the final C-17 flight out of Kabul. pic.twitter.com/66yMmNYthX
