They tookover Kunduz for a day or two. World media like Al jazeera , wsj , BBC , CNN reported it. Tolo news has reported it too. A-team wants to hide the fact that kunduz fell yet again.

They didn't have much resistance and walked straight to the city centre . US and ANSF has advised citizens of Kunduz to evacuate because they are going to use air power against Talibs . Meanwhile Ghani is in brussels fooling people there about more aid .

Reports are coming in that khanshin has fallen or majority of the district has fallen under Taliban control. With nawa and khanshin gone. They are going to choke lashkar gah before invasion.

Not sure how accurate this map is but it shows Taliban control on red.

This is the district map

Reg is khanshin. Nawa has fallen as well.

Musa qala fell under their control in Feb after which the no war harvest season came. It's still under Taliban control I believe.

Sangin seige began in DEC and by Feb the Taliban controlled most of the districts.


This is not looking good. Lashkar gah is under serious trouble.

The Afghan army must recapture some districts bcz the Taliban are tactically sorrounding the capital.

I remember the governor saying that he would quit of lashkar gah fell. Or was it a general. Can't remember.
