The biggest super power in the world invades one of the poorest nations on earth. Keeps it occupied for 20 years. Decides to cut losses & leave abruptly. Even before it's departure sees the imposed structure start to melt. Must be very frustrating. You feel u need a scapegoat (1)

If those in US pushing for this policy stance succeed to try and cover up their strategic blunders by blaming Pakistan, it will be yet another mistake. Pakistan has been and continues to be an agent for stability in the region. All involved should work together for peace (2)

The situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating with each passing day as Taliban is gaining hold on Afghanistan’s largest cities and latest to fall to the group is Kandahar.

“Kandahar is completely conquered. The Mujahideen reached Martyrs’ Square in the city,” a Taliban spokesman tweeted on an officially recognized account – a claim also backed by a resident, who told AFP news agency government forces appeared to have withdrawn en masse to a military facility outside the city.

Citing witnesses, the Associated Press earlier reported the Taliban had seized the governor’s office and other buildings and that officials had flown to Kabul.

Earlier on Thursday, the Taliban seized Herat, Afghanistan's third-largest city and captured another district capital just 150 kilometres (95 miles) from Kabul.

The conflict has escalated dramatically since May, when US-led forces began the final stage of a troop withdrawal due to end later this month following a 20-year occupation.
