100 days since Taliban return to power in Afghanistan: What has changed since US withdrawal?

Afghanistan has marked 100 days of Taliban rule since the group’s fighters seized the capital Kabul on August 15, 2021, then-president Ashraf Ghani fled the country and the US began evacuating troops and allies. The events signalled an end to decades of war and the return to power for militants pushed out by the US invasion 20 years ago. Now as the country is struggling with a host of new political, economic and humanitarian challenges, the Taliban is trying to transition to running a peacetime government.
