Almost one-third of the country’s 34 provincial capitals are under the Taliban’s control. Now, the Taliban has taken over the important city of Ghazni which is on the major Kabul- Kandahar motorway. Heavy fighting was reported in the city of Kandahar. It is thought that the Taliban could eventually aim to take Kabul itself. The insurgents have been seizing new territories almost daily after the US and other foreign allies withdrew after 20 years of military operations.
