The Taliban takeover of the country happened quickly as the militant group attacked large cities. There have been reports of summary executions and beatings in Taliban-controlled areas, a United Nations report read in August.
Chaos ensued after U.S. planes evacuated people, with Afghans clinging to planes and running down the tarmac.
