KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban takeover in Afghanistan continued Monday and the United Nations Security Council has been charged to do all it can to suppress the threat.
Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani left the country Sunday as the Taliban entered Kabul. The takeover led to mass chaos as civilians tried to leave. At least seven people were killed after trying to hang onto a military plane leaving from the tarmac at Kabul’s international airport.
The U.S. was set to pull out of Afghanistan completely in two weeks after two decades of training Afghan security forces and spending billions on the effort.
