Many militants including civilians were killed in this air bombing. The US removed the Taliban and vowed to support Afghanistan to make a democratic and terror-free country. All Taliban fled the country and were neutralized.

WHAT WILL BE THE FUTURE OF THE AFGHANISTAN?
The main question the world wants to know is about how the group will govern the country and what will happen to human rights and especially women’s rights and freedom.
It is completely unclear how the Taliban actually wants to govern Afghanistan.
In the 1990s when they were in power they imposed very harsh laws and women were the worst sufferers.
Today women of Afghanistan want to raise her voice but due to the fear of Taliban, they are not coming out of their house. Women’s freedom to work, to dress as their choice, or even to go outside alone freely is in the hands of Taliban rule.
