There have been scattered demonstrations in Afghanistan to mark independence day.
In defiance of the Taliban that took over the country on Monday, the Afghan national flag was paraded in the streets.
In some cities, the Taliban dispersed crowds with gunfire. But in a rare move, it did allow Shia Muslims to commemorate the day of Ashura.
Al Jazeera's Rob Mcbride has this report from Kabul.
