The departure of the last Western troops will be celebrated on August 31 each year

Afghanistan has created a new public holiday to mark the date the last US soldier left the country. According to the Taliban government’s website, the departure of foreign troops will be celebrated each year on August 31.

Festivities were first organized last year, when the authorities and Taliban supporters marked the first anniversary of the withdrawal. Taliban fighters held a rally on Massoud Square in Kabul outside the former US embassy building.
