The Taliban has declared August 15, the day it conquered Kabul last year, a public holiday to commemorate the first anniversary of its ascension to power in Afghanistan, according to a document obtained by Sputnik.

Simultaneously, movement leaders have promised to eliminate a number of national holidays from the calendar.

In August 2021, the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, culminating in the fall of the US-backed government and huge evacuations.
