Taliban Commemorates American Withdrawal With Grand Parade At Bagram Airfield

Members of the Taliban marked the third anniversary of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan by staging a parade at the former U.S. air base, Bagram Airfield. The event showcased American weapons and vehicles left behind during the chaotic exit. Bagram Airfield, once a pivotal location in the U.S. war against the Taliban and al-Qaeda, saw uniformed soldiers marching with various weapons and a motorcycle formation carrying the Taliban flag.

The Taliban Cabinet praised their achievements in strengthening Islamic law and establishing a military system that they claim has brought peace and security to the country. The parade was seen as a display of victory over the U.S. by some analysts, highlighting what they perceive as a failure of U.S. policy in Afghanistan.
