Taliban Celebrates US Withdrawal With Coffins Draped With US Flags

Taliban supporters have taken to the streets in Afghanistan to celebrate the final departure of American troops.

They staged a mock burial, draped in flags from the United States and other NATO countries.

Several images from the event in Khoist, Afghanistan, have been widely circulated on the internet.

The incident occurred just one day after the last American troops left the country after nearly two decades in the country.

Following the completion of the airlifting process, US military soldiers left Afghanistan on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Taliban leaders took control of Kabul airport on Tuesday, marking the final flight of a U.S. plane.

They also took a symbolic walk across the only runway at the airport.

“The world should have learned its lesson and this is the enjoyable moment of victory,” Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, said in a livestream video.

He spoke to reporters at the Hamid Karzai International Airport and said Americans “could not achieve their goal through military operations.”
