The rapid seizure of power in Afghanistan by the militants of the Radical Movement “Taliban” (prohibited in the Russian Federation) can be explained by changing their tactics. About this, Senior Researcher, Stanislav Podchin, Senior Researcher, said “Lente.ru.”
According to the political scientist, the Taliban successfully adjusted under new circumstances, thanks to which they assign themselves most of the country in just a couple of months.
“First, they managed to accumulate enough resources for the seizure of territories. Secondly, after the withdrawal of US troops and NATO, the official Kabul was in a difficult psychological and political situation, the authorities themselves understood that they would not be able to restrain the militants. And the third: The Taliban stopped being afraid to take large cities, although she used to avoid it, “said Prudchin.
The militants of the radical movement were intensified in April 2021, after the American president Joe Biden announced the full conclusion of foreign troops from the country. In four months, the Talibam managed to capture most of the country, and the main offensive was 10 days. Already at the beginning of August, representatives of the European Union said that militants control 65 percent of the country.
August 15 “Taliban” came close to Kabul, surrounded the city and announced the establishment of control throughout Afghanistan. The President of the country Ashraf Gani resigned and left the country on the same day. According to the latest data, the country’s management transferred to the time council, which included the head of the Supreme Council on Natspella Abdullah Abdullah and the former President Hamid Karzai. The Council will transfer the power of the Taliban.
