      <image:caption>On August 15th, 2021, the Taliban took control of Kabul and won the war in Afghanistan. This is a view from inside the collapse of America’s longest war, and the complicated reality of Taliban governance- where the guns have fallen mostly silent, but Afghan women have seen their hard won rights evaporate. Taliban units enter Kabul’s western gate at Kut-i-Sangi on the day of the fall.</image:caption>
