Taliban insurgents have continued to make rapid territorial gains in Afghanistan as the United States said its last remaining troops are expected to withdraw from the conflict-torn country by the end of August.
Multiple Afghan sources said Saturday the Taliban had pressured pro-government forces to retreat from at least a dozen districts in northeastern Badakhshan and Takhar border provinces in the past 24 hours. Pro-government forces in many areas are said to be surrendering and abandoning territory without offering any resistance to the Taliban.
The coming Afghan breakdown

There has been wall-to-wall coverage in American newspapers of the developing situation in Afghanistan as the United States pulls out of the country. The coverage included an article by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan published on June 22, by
The Washington Post. Khan explained why his country will not provide bases for America’s possible need to carry out air operations in Afghanistan. Such a request may be made if Washington reached the conclusion that only American bombs would prevent the Taliban from gaining total control of the country from which it was expelled in 2002. The Taliban are surprised by the advances they are making and are now positioned to launch operations against major cities such as Kabul and Kandahar.
