Justin tuesday. Evening of s gonna sons 34. They jusT Picked up. The provincial capital finds a bad that symbolic shawn in the North East of this kind of stuff. Its actually the 1st time that the group has held bellhack, sean, in the history of the movement. They also picked up the provincial capital, poly comrey, which has been battling up to 2 days of heavy fighting. That is quite significant because its the gateway to the north from cobble, so definitively managed to cut off most of the north from cobble. Now they also picked up far a city the provincial capital, far in the south waste. This to night, picking up these 3 provincial capitals have now got 9. And to put that into context, the last time they held a provincial capital was in 2016, and they only held it briefly because us forces managed to push them out of condos, which they took at that time. So to pickup 9 over less than a week now incredibly significant and showing the amount of momentum they have across the country in the north, the city of missouri sharif, which is the 4th biggest city in the country, is now essentially under siege. It is an island of government control, but they are also clashes going on beer and we understand the taliban a pushing very hard for that city. Also. Not clashes happening, not just in the north, but also we understand. On tuesday evening, there was heavy fighting in gaffney, in gardena, and also ferry ab. So another 3 provinces that the taliban are managing to tackle simultaneously. Early today we met with people who escaped. Some of the fighting him come to cobble and they had her refix stories of what have been happening in these remote provinces with communication is often communication as well from weak. And it is hard to to find out exactly what is happening on the ground there. But some horrific stories about the casualties and the cost that civilians are paying is this fight and continues. Over the last few hours, the us president defended his decision to pull us forces from us. Jonathan Joe Biden says he doesnt regret the move and that off can lead as need to come together.

June has more from because all re capital a long 1st Day of talks here in doha about the situation and afghan ascentis ended without any statement being issued and with a lot of uncertainty as to what exactly is supposed to happen next. Now, throughout the day, you had the us special envoy for afghanistans. Ill make a little of that as well aS Envoys from the u. K. The, you, the you, when China Pakistan was Becca Stan and copper all assembled here. First, they met with a delegation from the afghanistan government led by doctor on the lab dela, hes the head of the national Reconciliation Council for afghanistan. Those meetings lasted for about 2 hours. Not too long. After that, you had a separate meeting between the envoys who are assembled here and a delegation from the taliban. Its not clear what was discussed in those meetings, but if you look at a statement that was issued by all my colleagues are before he arrived here and dont have which stated in several planned rounds of meetings over 3 days, representatives from countries in the region and beyond as well as for multilateral organizations, will press for a reduction of Violence And Cease fire and the commitment not to recognize a government imposed by force. That statement seems to indicate that all the assembled parties here were trying to convey a message to the taliban that it will be no international recognition of any government that is seized by force by the taliban in afghanistan. As i said, its unclear what exactly is going to play out over the next 2 days. There was a huge impetus here to try to get something done to get the intra afghan Piece Process and dialogue back on track. There was a huge push here to respond in a joint fashion, to what is happening and i can attend to a very rapidly deteriorating situation.

Another military offensive, an attempt to take power in trouble. Is that in pakistans interest . No, because it would destabilize the country, the countrys already experiencing serious economic set back. But for the army, this the small group of strategists who are committed to really an ideology of dominating afghanistan and central asia. Its, its the holy grail. And so the question becomes, what will the international community do in respond if this was happening in any other part of the world . One country invading another, using proxies or otherwise, there would be a stiff reaction when Vladimir Putin invaded ukraine. There were sanction when the soviet invaded afghanistan in 979, there was a stern Reaction And Sanction if we want to prevent the worst for afghanistan, that needs to be the approach.

And they said it took them about 10 to 12 hours to reach cobble. And they had to come through badly where there is a big battle between the government and tell me about going to give me a shout. When i, when i was leaving the city, i noticed the families were gone from their homes. They look the doors. They will women on the streets running and they will look for the strikes. I saw one woman who was hurting the injured maybe with a mortar. When i saw that i cried for hours to commit to the capital shep collision. When the taliban came, they looted everything they burned our house and we just ran. We left our clothes and left the front door open and just run. Now we live in this town, so please help us. The government is offering some handout. People in cars are offering donations, but as you can see, there is very little support, shelter, food or for the people arriving here.
