The Taliban Will Shower Kabul with Flowers From Helicopters for Their Takeover Anniversary
Canada has resettled over 59,000 Afghan refugees since 2021 but stopped accepting new applications, leaving many families separated and facing ongoing uncertainty, officials said.
- On August 14, 2025, the Taliban held celebrations in Kabul that included flying helicopters to shower the city with flowers marking their fourth anniversary of control.
- On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took control of Kabul shortly before the complete withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces, ending a nearly twenty-year conflict and leading to continuing political and humanitarian issues.
- The festivities featured black and white Taliban flags across Kabul and sports performances, amid uncertainty if women would attend, during a time of economic decline and a massive refugee influx.
- Nearly 10 million people in Afghanistan are experiencing severe food shortages, with stunting affecting one out of every three children. At the same time, females face restrictions that prevent them from continuing education past the sixth grade, accessing numerous employment opportunities, and entering most public areas.
- These events highlight ongoing human rights repression and crises in Afghanistan, while Canada has resettled over 59,000 Afghans since 2021 through special initiatives still processing applications.
