The Taliban marked a year in power on Monday with celebrations by the group's fighters and leaders, as Afghanistan struggles with rising poverty, drought and malnutrition.

Some people fired celebratory gunshots in the air in Kabul and Taliban fighters gathered, waving the group's black and white flag to mark a year since they marched into the capital after a stunning series of battlefield victories.

In a ceremony attended by Taliban government ministers, acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said their rule had brought security where the U.S. had failed and said the group wanted positive relationships with the world.

However, the Taliban have also faced immense challenges in setting the country on a path of economic growth and stability. There are huge pressures on the economy, caused in large part by the country's isolation as foreign governments refuse to recognise its rulers.

“We had experienced big differences within one year, especially in terms of economics, people are ranked below the poverty line,” student Homa Nazari said. “And apart from this, education is another aspect which has been badly affected.”
