The UN Security Council met in emergency session on the crisis, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calling on the international community to "suppress the global terrorist threat in Afghanistan" and ensure respect of human rights.
"The following days will be pivotal," he said. "The world is watching. We cannot and must not abandon the people of Afghanistan."
'YOU CAN'T BREATHE'
The United States released a statement along with more than 65 nations urging the Taliban to let Afghans leave the country, warning of accountability for any abuses.
The Taliban imposed an ultra-strict interpretation of sharia law during their 1996-2001 rule.
This included banning girls from schools and women from working, while people were publicly stoned to death for adultery.
Muska Dastageer, a lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan, which opened five years after the Taliban were ousted, said Kabul residents felt "frightened and helpless".
"The fear just sits inside your chest like a black bird. It opens its wings and you can't breathe," she wrote on Twitter.
China was the first major nation to flag support for the Taliban, stating it was ready for "friendly relations".
Russia's ambassador to Afghanistan planned to meet with the Taliban on Tuesday, with recognition to be determined on how they govern the country in the near future, a foreign ministry official in Moscow said.
