Hundreds of tracer rounds are streaming into the sky at the airport. Taliban evidently celebrating victory pic.twitter.com/qVfxMCZ6Ik
WNU Editor: From AP ..... Taliban celebrate victory as U.S. troops leave Afghanistan (AP).
Update: Are these the last pictures of US soldiers leaving Afghanistan? According to Afghan journalist Masoom Ghaznavi he posted what he called “the last pictures of the occupation of our country,” showing US troops preparing to leave the airport. It is hard to differentiate the U.S. soldiers and Taliban fighters with their similar clothes and weapons.
Update #2: The US war in Afghanistan lasted 19 years, 10 months and 25 days.دا تاریخي انځورونه درسره ثبت کړئ دا زموږ د وطن د اشغال اخرني انځورونه دې چې اشغالګرو ته مو تاریخي ماته ورکړه او شرمیدلي روان دې
