TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2021

The Taliban has welcomed the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan shortly after U.S. Central Command announced that the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Asian country has completed.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid wrote on social media platform twitter early Tuesday that the last U.S. soldiers were evacuated from Kabul airport at mid-night on Monday. 

"In this way, our country became completely free and independent," he said.
