Afghan national in Delhi breaks down over the current situation in her country

Citizens appear to have lost all hope once the Taliban took control of Kabul, the country's capital. President Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan has handed over control to a transitional government led by Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. To avoid bloodshed, the President then fled from the Presidential Palace. Countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada are employing their soldiers to evacuate their citizens. Due to reports of shooting at Kabul's international airport, the US Embassy in Kabul has halted all operations and has advised Americans to seek shelter. The American flag has been lowered down and the US Embassy has been evacuated. Diplomats have been heading to the airport to assist with the evacuation.
