With the precipitate of events the US embassy in Kabul It reaffirmed the invitation already made on August 7, urging all US citizens to leave Afghanistan immediately with commercial flights.

But the Afghan forces do not seem to be able to stop the Islamic wave, and the government of Kabul has tried a diplomatic route offering the insurgents “to share some of the power,” regional broadcaster Al Jazeera reported before the last three conquests. The source would be close to the government of President Ashraf Ghani, and the offer would have been made in Qatar, where negotiations with the insurgents are taking place. But now the cards on the table have changed again, and like yesterday the sources close to Pentagon has no illusions: Kabul will fall within 90 days, or sooner. Now he also trembles Lashkargah, where the rebels took control of the prison and freed all its inmates.
