However, there was one video that was shared with a caption apparently celebrating the Taliban\u2019s victory in Afghanistan. The video soon went viral on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On investigation, Fact Crescendo found that the video was an old video from Syria and has nothing to do with the present situation in Afghanistan. Let\u2019s check out the narrative that was being spread on the social media with the help of the unrelated video and how we found out the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Viral Claim on Social Media:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/embed\/screencast-www.facebook.com-2021.08.17-12_47_08\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tahirbhat.tahir.965\/videos\/1236310130143640\/\">Facebook<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/screencast-www.facebook.com-2021.08.17-12_47_08\">Archived Link<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Screen recording of the Facebook post given above shows scenes from a battlefield. The fighters can be heard chanting \u201c<em>Allah-hu-Akbar<\/em>\u201d or \u2018God is Great!\u2019 and tearing down a flag and ultimately burning it down. We can also see a convoy of vehicles fleeing the scene. The caption accompanying the video reads as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong><em>BIG BREAKING.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>with the Taliban in control of the presidential palace in kubal .And the US Ambassador fleeing to the airport , Taliban have won the war. inshallah Next Kashmir <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u270c<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\ufe0f<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u270c<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\ufe0f<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u270c<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\ufe0f<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u270c<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\ufe0f <\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The user seems to celebrating the fact that Taliban has taken over the Afghan capital city of Kabul (misspelled in the caption as \u2018Kubal\u2019) and also suggesting that same will be repeated in Kashmir. However, this is not the only post having a similar caption. Some similar posts can be found by clicking the following links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/104299565272424\/videos\/372717504371415\/?__tn__=%2CO-R\">post1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/125922053000625\/videos\/162554715982978\/?__tn__=%2CO\">post2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, is this video really from Kabul?

A reverse image search on Google on one of the key frames thus isolated gave us the following video posted in the year 2019 on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"\u0644\u062d\u0638\u0627\u062a \u0644\u0627\u062a\u0646\u0633\u0649 \u0645\u0646 \u062a\u0627\u0631\u064a\u062e \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0648\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0648\u0631\u064a\u0629 \u062a\u062d\u0631\u064a\u0631 \u0625\u062f\u0644\u0628\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QHRzw-bSTq0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The video posted by a verified YouTube channel called Orient TV has a caption in Arabic that reads as follows when translated to English: <strong><em>\u201cUnforgettable moments from the history of the Syrian revolution, the liberation of Idlib<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Idlib\">Idlib<\/a> is a city in Syria, which is suffering from a civil war from more than a decade.
