Taliban overtakes districts in northern Afghanistan
By Celine Castronuovo - 07/04/21 01:27 PM EDT

Several of Afghanistan’s northern districts were taken by the Taliban overnight Saturday as U.S. forces continued withdraw from the region.

Tajikistan’s State Committee for National Security said Sunday that more than 300 Afghan military personnel had crossed into Tajikistan while fleeing Taliban fighters advancing in Afghanistan's northeast Badakhshan province, according to The Associated Press.

Mohib-ul Rahman, a Badakhshan council member, told the AP that the Taliban’s recent gains in the area have largely resulted from low morale among outnumbered Afghan troops.

“Unfortunately, the majority of the districts were left to the Taliban without any fight,” he added, saying that eight out of 10 districts in the last three days fell to Taliban control without much resistance. 

According to the AP, the Taliban has now taken control over about a third of the 421 total districts and district centers in the country.

Gee, should we be surprised?   With Joe's open border policies, this is another concerning issue.  IMO, it's just a matter of time before we are fighting on our own soil.

Ten years ago I still believed in the old saying.. "We broke it. We fix it."   But anymore I have come to the realization that that third world shithole (of all the worlds shitholes) can never be fixed and we didn't break it.

We came an eyelash away from permanent energy independence and the ability to never ever to have to send another soldier to the middle east.  Makes me nauseous thinking about it.

"Taliban overtakes districts in northern Afghanistan"

That didn't take long.
Shades of Vietnam, 1975.

The Afghan "government" and "army" are collapsing faster than condo towers in Miami.
Guess they weren't built upon much of "a solid foundation", either.
Corruption more corrosive than salt water...

Agree.  When Biden pulls the plug September 11th, we need tons of photos.  Make that SOB drown in that defeat for the '22 and '24 election.

The large majority of which occurred while Biden was VP.

‘They will behead us all’: Plight of Afghan helpers grows more desperate in the face of unrelenting Taliban onslaught

‘They will behead us all’: Plight of Afghan helpers grows more desperate in the face of unrelenting Taliban onslaught
Russia's Sergey Lavrov 'worried' about terror threats from Afghanistan despite past calls for US withdrawal
‘THEY WILL KILL US’: While Americans were celebrating over the three-day Independence Day weekend, the Taliban were making more battlefield gains in Afghanistan, sending chills through thousands of Afghans who worked for the U.S. military over the years and now fear deadly retribution if the Taliban take power.

“I'm hiding right now,” a former interpreter for the United States told ABC News in an interview that aired Sunday. “If they take over Kabul, then they will come, and they will behead us all. They will kill us.”

Overnight Sunday into Monday, Taliban fighters took control of large areas of the northern province of Badakhshan, which borders Tajikistan, forcing 1,037 Afghan troops to flee across the border to safety, according to the Tajik state-run news agency Khovar.

A map of Taliban gains updated yesterday by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies shows a shrinking island of government-held territory in the center of the country around the capital Kabul, surrounded by a vast sea of districts either controlled or contested by the Taliban.

It's cute some people still think the "government" in Afghanistan isn't already Taliban.
