Amidst the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, the Taliban also captured its second major city Kandahar late on Thursday night. News agency AP has given this information. With this, the Taliban have captured 12 of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan. Earlier, the Taliban had captured Ghazni and Herat provinces. Let us tell you that Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, is just 130 km away from Ghazni.
Here India has once again issued an advisory on Thursday regarding the safety of Indians living in Afghanistan. It says that Indians should make arrangements to return to the country immediately before the flights stop. Indian companies should also send their employees back. It has also been said that Indian journalists who come for coverage should also make additional security arrangements. Earlier, the Indian Embassy had also issued advisories on June 29, July 24, and August 10. Three Indian engineers have been airlifted from the Taliban-held area the Indian Embassy in Kabul said on Thursday. India has said that it wants peace in Afghanistan. Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said that the Indian Embassy in Kabul will not be closed. He also said that the situation is being closely monitored.
Amid the Taliban's tight grip, the Afghan government has offered the Taliban a power share to stop the violence. The Taliban, however, refused to hold talks with the government of President Ashraf Ghani. At the same time, Afghan security forces have arrested some officials including Ghazni Governor Dawood Laghmani, Deputy Governor, and Office Director. He has been arrested from Vardak province.
The Taliban's hold in Afghanistan is getting stronger. So strong that even America, the world's most powerful country, has to negotiate. The US estimated that it would take 90 days for the Taliban to capture the capital, Kabul. These days America will throw its citizens and officials out of the country, but America's guess turned out to be wrong.
The US has asked its citizens to leave Afghanistan immediately. According to sources, US negotiators have asked the Taliban not to attack its embassy if they capture the capital, Kabul. It has also been said that there should be no harm to its citizens and embassy officials. Talks are taking place with the Taliban under the leadership of US Chief Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.
