Yesterday, on August 14, Taliban authorities in Afghanistan celebrated the third anniversary of their return to power with a military parade. This marked a significant moment for the Taliban, as it was on August 15, 2021, that they seized the capital Kabul after the collapse of the government and the fleeing of its leaders into exile.
The Taliban’s return to power three years ago marked a major turning point in Afghan history, leading to a period of uncertainty and instability in the country. Since then, the Taliban has faced both internal and external challenges in governing Afghanistan, with ongoing concerns about human rights abuses and the treatment of women and minorities under Taliban rule.
In a show of strength and defiance, the Taliban marked this milestone with a military parade, showcasing their forces and weapons in Kabul. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the Taliban’s resilience and determination to maintain their grip on power in Afghanistan.
FRANCE 24’s Nadia Massih was joined by Shahzaib Wahlah to provide insight and analysis on the significance of this anniversary for the Taliban and the future of Afghanistan under their rule. The event highlights the complex and evolving political landscape in Afghanistan, as the Taliban continues to navigate the challenges of governance and international scrutiny.
As the Taliban commemorates three years since their return to power, the world watches closely to see how they will address the pressing issues facing Afghanistan and whether they will uphold their commitments to human rights and political stability.
