Taliban fighters hold military parade in Herat

(9 Jan 2022) The Taliban held a military parade in Afghanistan's Herat city on Sunday, featuring military Humvees and trucks that were made in the U.S. These vehicles had previously been donated to Afghanistan's army. The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan last August ahead of America's chaotic Aug. 31 departure after nearly 20 years of war. The Islamic militant guerrillas-turned-rulers previously held power from 1996-2001. Around 600 Taliban fighters participated in the parade, which marked the fighters' graduation after a two-month military training course. Since the Taliban takeover of Kabul, an already war-devastated Afghan economy once kept alive by international donations is on the verge of collapse. Nearly 80% of Afghanistan's previous government's budget came from the international community. That money, now cut off, financed hospitals, schools, factories and government ministries.
