Chaos and disarray at Kabul airport a week after the Taliban sweeps to power in Afghanistan. Reportedly, the last protected route to flee the militants will be closed for the next two days to evacuate those already inside. Thousands are still desperately trying to escape through the country's only air corridor. Despite the devasting advance of the Taliban, there is some resistance to the Islamists. Among the groups protesting the take over there are afghan women fearing for their future under the new regime. The chaotic pullout by the western coalition also leaves a generous gift for the insurgents including advanced weaponry from aircraft and armoured vehicles to biometric identification systems.
