The militants of the radical movement “Taliban” (prohibited in the Russian Federation) took control of 65 percent of the territory of Afghanistan. This was told by the representative of the European Union, it quotes Reuters.
Now the Taliban threatens the seizure of another 11 capitals of different provinces. In addition, the militants are trying to “cut off” the capital of the country of Kabul from the official troops of the country located in the north. If it succeeds, Taliban will be easier to capture Kabul.
According to the European official, the Taliban did not fulfill their promise to look for a world for the sake of a political agreement that would admit some form of transitional management.
Over the past weekend, the terrorist group has significantly expanded its control over the country. Despite the fierce resistance of the Afghan army, three provincial center were captured by extremists: Kunduz, Sari-bullet and Talukan. In addition to several urban centers, militants control most of the rural areas of the country.
The situation in Afghanistan aggravated in July, after the withdrawal of the main contingent of the American troops. The Taliban immediately began the offensive in the position of government forces. Currently, the Afghan government continues to lose control over the country.
