Data Map: Afghan National Army Commando
Overseas Network, August 10th. Al Jazeera reported on the 10th that the domestic situation in Afghanistan continued to deteriorate. The Taliban announced on the 9th that they had taken control of 6 provincial capitals within 4 days. On the other hand, Zalme Khalilzad, Special Representative of the U.S. Government for Reconciliation Affairs in Afghanistan, went to Doha, the capital of Qatar, to participate in the talks on the 10th and will call on the Taliban to stop the offensive.
The deputy governor of Samangan Province, Afghanistan, confirmed on the 9th that the government forces had withdrawn from the city of Ibak at the plea of local residents to prevent the entire city from being devoured by war. The Taliban also stated that they have fully captured Ibak, including the governor’s building, police headquarters, and intelligence sub-bureaus. This is the sixth provincial capital city to fall into the hands of the Taliban.
Faced with the increasingly tense domestic situation in Afghanistan, the US sent a special envoy to promote peace. The official website of the US State Department issued a briefing on the 9th, stating that special envoy Khalilzad will arrive in Doha to help determine how the international community can jointly respond to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan. According to the plan, multiple rounds of meetings will be held within three days. Representatives of countries in the region, other countries, and multinational organizations will discuss the situation in Afghanistan. The US believes that reaching a peace agreement through negotiation is the only way to end the war.
According to reports, since the beginning of the withdrawal of US troops in Afghanistan in May, the Taliban have continued to expand their offensives and occupy large tracts of land in Afghanistan. At present, the U.S. military is still providing support to the Afghan government through air strikes, but the U.S. and German governments have stated that they will not return to Afghanistan. The US has repeatedly emphasized that the plan for a complete withdrawal of troops at the end of August will not change. Although the US military will continue to provide airstrike support in the future, the Afghan government needs to “self-reliance.” (Overseas Net Zhang Qi)
