Scenes from Kabul on the first day of Taliban control: Ads for bridal dresses, where women exposed strands of hair, are covered with paint. Passersby on the streets are questioned. A husband is beaten for trying to protect his wife from a search.

, Taliban fighters commandeered streets and searched the homes and offices of government officials and media outlets, spreading fear and menace across the Afghan capital.

Three armed militants rummaged through Rozina’s purse and luggage, checked her passport and asked questions about her relationship with her husband, she said. They demanded to see their marriage certificate. Her husband protested, saying that devout Muslims wouldn’t invade his wife’s privacy. They slapped him across the face and hit him in the back with their weapons, she said.

“None of our citizens can get to the airport without risking their lives,” the official said, adding that they will “likely have to negotiate with the Taliban for escort and security.” A female government employee in her 20s said Taliban fighters arrived at the gate outside her apartment building Monday morning. “I was inside my home, and I was shaking,” she said. “We locked every door.”The woman burned every document tying her to government work, she said, in case the Taliban raid her home. She worried that insurgents might get access to the biometric data she gave when she was hired and track her down.

“Our neighbors are helping the Taliban, and are giving them information about who is who, and who was working with the government and NGOs,” another female government employee alleged.

Sounds like about 20% of the people in this country

If the Taliban want to lead, take good care of the Afghan people. do not let there be bloodshed, because they are your people.

In fact, Americans would rather flee Afghanistan with their pet dogs than Afghans who have been loyal to the United States for 20 years.

Refugees may have to removed by force or else the terrorists will murder them.
