Taliban militants have celebrated “complete independence” following the final departure of U.S troops from Afghanistan

The Taliban has celebrated with gunfire echoing across Kabul following the militant group taking control of the airport following the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops.

The withdrawal from the American military ends 20 years of war that left the Islamic militia stronger than it was in 2001.

Shaky video footage distributed by the Taliban showed fighters entering the airport after the last U.S. troops took off a minute before midnight, marking the end of a hasty and humiliating exit for Washington and its NATO allies.

America’s longest war took the lives of nearly 2,500 U.S. troops and an estimated 240,000 Afghans, and cost some $2 trillion

Although the U.S succeeded in driving the Taliban from power and stopped Afghanistan being used as a base by al Qaeda to attack the United States, it ended with the hardline Islamic militants controlling more of the country than they ever did during their previous rule from 1996 to 2001.
