Taliban uses US air base to celebrate 3 years of rule over Afghanistan | LiveNOW from FOX
The Taliban celebrated the third anniversary of their return to power Wednesday at a former U.S. air base in Afghanistan.

At the Bagram base — once the center of America’s war to unseat the Taliban and hunt down the al-Qaida perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks — members of the Taliban Cabinet lauded achievements such as strengthening Islamic law and establishing a military system that provides “peace and security.”

The speeches were aimed at an international audience, urging the diaspora to return and for the West to interact and cooperate with the country’s rulers. No country recognizes the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.

“The Islamic Emirate eliminated internal differences and expanded the scope of unity and cooperation in the country,” Deputy Prime Minister Maulvi Abdul Kabir said, using the Taliban’s term to describe their government. “No one will be allowed to interfere in internal affairs, and Afghan soil will not be used against any country.”

Javid Ahmad, a non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to discuss the details.
