Taliban takes over Afghanistan as government collapses and thousands try to flee

As US troops pull out, Taliban has said that it now has control over 85% of territory in Afghanistan. Taliban’s onslaught has fuelled fears that the government in Kabul could fall within months. The recent rapid gains come as US-led troops withdraw after nearly 20 years of fighting. US President Joe Biden said that Afghan forces are capable of stopping Taliban takeover. #Taliban #Afghanistan #JoeBiden #India | News18
