Taliban reaches Kabul, says in talks for peaceful transition
The Peninsula
The Taliban ordered its fighters to remain just outside the Afghan capital as it starts talks for a peaceful transition of power, cementing its renewed grip on the country two decades after the U.S. ousted it from power.
Fighters from the militant group entered the outskirts of Kabul on Sunday as the U.S. and other nations rushed to evacuate their citizens, the culmination of a three-week offensive in which the Taliban seized the bulk of territory in the country. The Associated Press reported that Taliban negotiators were heading to the presidential palace in Kabul to prepare for a transfer of power.More Related News
