Taliban celebrated the exit of U.S Military forces from the Afghanistan soil with mock coffins draped in US and NATO flags.
Thousands of locals from the Khost participated within the occasion and took to the streets carrying Afghanistan and the Taliban flags to rejoice the withdrawal of the US and their allied forces from Afghanistan. Supposedly a mock funeral was organized to mark the victory of the Taliban Militants with Kalashnikovs in opposition to the US.
According to Reuters, Talibani spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid celebrated the US departure on the Kabul Airport and acknowledged, “We are proud of these moments, that we liberated our country from a great power,” and in addition that “The Islamic Emirate wants to have good diplomatic relations with the whole world.”
Visuals of the mock funeral went viral on the social media.

Alleged Taliban accounts have been discovered mocking the US on the web with memes of Pepe The Frog depicting the Triumph over the US and shaming Western Culture. The US troops accomplished their withdrawal of their forces from Afghanistan on the thirtieth of August, 2021, thus ending the 20 yr struggle.
