Al Jazeera
New government formation talks and evacuations are under way simultaneously as Taliban seeks to reassure nervous people.
Kabul remained tensely calm on Tuesday as the Taliban declared an “amnesty” across Afghanistan and urged women to join its government days after the armed group took over the country. The Taliban tried to reassure nervous people in the capital city, many of whom converged on the airport trying to flee the country, fearing more violence. On Tuesday, Kabul’s international airport, the only way out for many, reopened to military evacuation flights under the watch of US troops. Commercial flights still remain suspended.
