The "Taliban" movement has achieved new field to control over all of Afghanistan, and it is now a few kilometers away from the capital, Kabul.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani addressed his people in the face of a rapid advance of the Taliban, saying that the top priority is to remobilize the armed forces.he said he was in urgent talks with local leaders and international partners, as Taliban fighters approached Kabul and captured a key town south of the capital that is one of the city's gates.It was reported that the Taliban had taken control of the Char Asiab district, which is only about 11 km from Kabul. the rebels are also launching an offensive to capture Mazar-i-Sharif, the only major northern city still under government control.

fears are growing that a Taliban attack on Kabul may be just days away. he continued:"As your president, my focus is on preventing further instability, violence and popular displacement," Ghani showed no sign of responding to the Taliban's request to resign in order to hold talks on a ceasefire and political settlement, and said reintegration of security and defense forces was a priority of the government, and serious measures were being taken in this regard.Ghani's speech came in the wake of the Taliban's takeover of Buul Alam, the capital of Logar province, 70 kilometers south of Kabul.A member of the city's local council told Reuters news agency - on condition of anonymity - that Taliban fighters did not face much resistance. the capture of the city of Bol Alam is a major starting point for the possible attack on Kabul. this comes a day after the Taliban took control of Kandahar, Herat, the second and third largest city in the country.

The flow of American soldiers continued to the Afghan capital in order to evacuate diplomats and other foreign work crews from the city, while other countries were racing against time to evacuate their workers and citizens from the country, in light of the progress of the Taliban movement towards Kabul.the Pentagon announced that two Marine battalions and one infantry battalion  totaling about 3,000 soldiers would arrive in Kabul by Sunday evening.
The Pentagon said an infantry combat team would also move from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Kuwait, ready for a rapid response and as a force to enforce security in Kabul if needed. Britain and many other Western countries are also sending troops to support as Afghan government forces retreat.

The Taliban's rapid advance has led to widespread debate in the United States over the US withdrawal, which was negotiated last year under the administration of Republican President Donald Trump, the predecessor of current President Joe Biden's Democratic Party.
Biden said a few days ago that he did not regret his decision to pursue the withdrawal. Noting that Washington spent more than a trillion dollars and lost thousands of troops in a war that lasted over two decades, he called on Afghan leaders and government forces to do more to repel the Taliban.
Opinion polls showed that most Americans support Biden's decision, but Republicans have criticized the Democratic president's handling of the US withdrawal.

Taliban leader Hebatullah Akhundzadeh also declared: We will establish a "pure Islamic government." Hebatullah Akhundzada assumed the leadership of the Afghan Taliban movement on May 26, 2016, after he was appointed to this position by the movement's Shura Council, succeeding the movement's former leader Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, who was killed in a US drone strike on May 22, 2016. It is said that Akhundzada fought against Soviet and US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan and served as chief of a military court in Kabul under the rule of the late Taliban founder and spiritual leader Mullah Omar. under the leadership of Akhundzada, the Taliban signed a historic peace agreement with the United States in Qatar on February 29, 2020, and Akhundzadeh described the agreement as a "big victory" for the group.

In 2001, the United States was responding to the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, which nearly 3,000 people were killed. Officials at the time blamed the Islamic extremist group Al-Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, for the attack.
Bin Laden was in Afghanistan, under the protection of the Islamist Taliban movement that had been in power since 1996.
When they refused to hand him over, the United States intervened militarily, and American forces quickly ousted the Taliban and vowed to support democracy and eliminate the terrorist threat.

NATO allies joined the United States and a new Afghan government took over in 2004, but deadly Taliban attacks continued. The "troop surge" implemented by President Barack Obama in 2009 contributed to repelling the Taliban, but this did not last long.
At the end of 2014, the bloodiest year since 2001, the international NATO forces ended their combat mission, leaving the responsibility for maintaining security to the Afghan army.
This gave impetus to the Taliban to seize more territory.
Peace talks between the United States and the Taliban began temporarily, and the Afghan government was largely absent from those talks, and the agreement to withdraw came in February 2020 in Qatar.
But this agreement did not stop the Taliban's attacks - they instead shifted their focus to targeting Afghan security forces and civilians, assassinating specific figures, and their control expanded to include many areas.
