During its visit to Moscow, a Taliban delegation has reported that it controls 250 of the country’s 398 districts, and has referred in detail to the border city of Islam Qala.
This city forms a territorial arc from the border with Iran to China and is also the main route of trade between Afghanistan and Iran. According to the spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of the Interior, Tariq Arian, efforts are being made to recover Islam Qala in the Afghan region. The Taliban delegation wanted to make it clear to the Moscow authorities that they will not allow attacks against foreign countries from their territory.
For the first time in a capital of the Afghan province, Afghan commandos and insurgents have faced this week and thousands of people have fled Qala-i-Nawi in the north-west province of Badghis. This week, more than a thousand Afghan soldiers fled to Tajikistan in the face of the militia assault, according to the Afghan news agency Prensa Latina.
Taliban closer to power
Afghanistan was invaded in 2001 by the US Army and has since turned its country into the longest war of this century. Lehendakari, Joe Biden, has already announced that he will take all the soldiers out of the country before September 11. On 7 July, the United States Army left Bagram Air Base unannounced, leaving some 5,000 Taliban prisoners in the area. Since the beginning of the invasion, the Bagram Air Base has been the largest in the country and has gathered up to 10,000 soldiers.
And now what? So far, the Taliban have not launched attacks on capital, but experts say that it is only a matter of time and that the whole country is expected to be in the hands of the Taliban in the near future. Russia has warned that, if neighbouring countries are not attacked, they will not participate in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. Of the foreign Governments, India is the most supportive country for the Kabul Government.
According to Amnesty International, in this 20-year war, 150,000 people have died and 1.2 million people have been forced to leave the country. According to Wikipedia data, the invading international coalition collects more than 3,500 casualties, of which more than 2,400 are Americans, according to Wikipedia data.
