Background
Breaking News, August 13, 2021, LIVE: The Taliban claims to capture Kandahar, Afghanistan's second-largest city. With this, the government has effectively lost control of most of the country, following an eight-day onslaught by the Taliban. Appalled by the development, the United States has decided to send troops to evacuate personnel from Afghanistan.
On Thursday, the Taliban captured another provincial capital near Kabul, claiming that its insurgents have so far captured as many as ten provincial capitals of the country. Militants hoisted white flags in Ghazni, 130 kilometers southwest of Kabul. The government may be forced to withdraw its steps to save the capital and some other cities as thousands of people are displaced due to the ongoing fight and have fled to Kabul, living in open spaces and gardens.
