Taliban announced end of 20-year war in Afghanistan

“We have ended this war, which broke out in our country 20 years ago,” said Mohammed Naim, the movement's spokesman, on the air of the Al-Jazeera TV channel.

In addition, he guaranteed the safety of the people of Afghanistan, stating that the Taliban are ready for dialogue with Afghan leaders.

Earlier, we recall that the resident of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, resigned. According to some information, the plane from Ghani entered the airspace of Tajikistan without landing. Kazakhstan also confirmed that the former head of Afghanistan is not in the country.

The formation of an interim government has begun in the country.

On August 15, the Taliban entered Kabul without a fight, the only major city still under government control.

Today, we note, the US military fired into the air at the Kabul airport because of thousands of Afghans who took off on the runway. According to eyewitnesses, they tried to catch the flight from the country. So far, the Kabul airport remains the only facility in the Afghan capital controlled by the army of the republic and its allies. The evacuation of foreign citizens is underway there.
