As the Taliban took control of Kabul on Sunday, several embassy officials across the capital were evacuated on Monday with chaos at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) international airport.
There was chaos at Afghanistan's Kabul airport as US officials closed the airport with reports claiming a US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III safely evacuated some 640 Afghans from Kabul.
In a much-awaited televised address from the White House, US President Joe Biden suggested that they lacked will to stand up to the Taliban. After several days of silence on the momentous developments, Biden said, "The truth is, this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated."
Afghanistan's Fayzabad is located in Badakhshan province. The area is known as a commercial and administrative centre.
