Kabul has remained somewhat peaceful since the Taliban took control of the Afghan capital four days ago, on the other hand, the residents have been living in uncertainty as the new establishment is yet to formally replace the former administration.  In a rapid but peaceful move, the Taliban fighters captured Kabul on Sunday, since then the city has been peaceful with no major security incidents reported, as per reports.

The reports add,  the government offices, as well as private and state-run schools and universities, have mostly remained closed despite the Taliban's call on the employees to attend their offices and continue their work.

On August 17,  Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, in his first press conference since entering Kabul, called upon government employees and those in the private sector to resume their normal duty and said that their lives and properties are safe and protected. Defending the Taliban's two decades of war against the US-led forces, Mujahid said they have defeated the invading foreign forces and liberated the country from foreign occupation. He added that the

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has no enmity with anyone and has declared general amnesty to all Afghans including the former foes viz. the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, saying the former government employees including army and police can live without any fear in the homeland.
