On Sunday, Taliban fighters took control of Kabul and President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, leaving the administration in shambles. While a US-led military operation began airlifting Western diplomats, civilians, and Afghans who are likely to be targeted by the country's new rulers.

Only time will tell what is going to happen in Kabul next.
