Insurgents’ seemingly unstoppable advance continues as they close in inexorably on Kabul
The Taliban’s seemingly unstoppable advance across Afghanistan continued on Friday, as insurgents took control of four more provincial capitals after their seizure on Thursday of Kandahar and Herat, the country’s second and third biggest cities.
With Afghan forces in disarray, and amid reports that the country’s vice-president has fled, the Taliban are heading inexorably towards Kabul. They now control more than two-thirds of the country, just as the US plan to pull out its last remaining troops.
