‘Everything is moving in the wrong direction,’ one US official says about the situation in Afghanistan.
The Taliban could overrun Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital, within 90 days – sooner than originally thought – amid the withdrawal of US troops from the country, Reuters and the Washington Post report, citing a US intelligence assessment. The group has captured nine provincial capitals in Afghanistan since Friday in a blistering military advance. The Taliban could isolate Kabul in 30 days, one official familiar with the assessment told Reuters. A US official who spoke on the condition of anonymity told the Washington Post that “everything is moving in the wrong direction.”More Related News
