<p>Afghanistan’s second biggest city, Kandahar, was crowded with Taliban militants dressed in US Army’s clothes and were holding US Army’s weapons and machine guns. Some militants drove the pick-up trucks and the multi-use trucks and many others sat on top of these trucks to show off their clothes and weapons.</p>

<p>All the trucks and tanks, however, had white and black coloured Taliban flags attacked to them to showcase that the group has managed to take control of these from the US Army.</p>

<p>Along with these trucks and weapons, at least one Black Hawk helicopter was also spotted flying above the Kandahar in the past few days. The sighting of the Black Hawk helicopter suggests that someone from the Afghan Army has also been roped in to help the terrorist group as the Taliban lacks qualified pilots to fly a Black Hawk.</p>

<p>As the parade went on, many hoped that the Taliban’s Supreme Leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, will also make a public appearance after years of staying in hiding. This expectation rose after the group confirmed that the supreme leader was present in Kandahar and would soon be steeping into the public eye.</p>

<p>However, Taliban militants and supporters were left disheartened as only the city’s new governor addressed the crowd.</p>
