The crowd of Taliban supporters at the rally in Afghanistan's Kohdaman consisted only of men and boys, as they congregated to celebrate the Taliban takeover.
Around 1,000 Taliban supporters attended a rally on Sunday in a vast field to the north of Kabul, in a show of strength as they consolidate their rule of Afghanistan.
The crowd, made up only of men and boys, listened to speeches by leading Taliban officials at Kohdaman township in the hilly outskirts of the capital.
The rally was the first of its kind in the capital since the group seized control of the country seven weeks ago following a lightning offensive.
Flanked by white and black Taliban standards, and members in full combat gear carrying assault rifles, the speakers addressed an audience that sat in rows of chairs under awnings.
