South Asia Taliban enter Kabul, Ashraf Ghani leaves country Kabul: Taliban terrorists entered the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Sunday as the United States evacuated diplomats from its embassy by helicopter, according to media reports. A Reuters report citing an interior ministry official said that the Taliban fighters were "coming from all sides". A tweet from the Afghan Presidential palace account said firing had been heard at a number of points around Kabul but that security forces, in coordination with international partners, had control of the city, the Reuters reported. The report said President Ashraf Ghani has not responded to the developments though he mentioned he was in urgent consultations with local leaders and international partners on the situation. According to media reports, he had said yesterday that he might step down and make way for the Taliban. The Taliban took over eastern city of Jalalabad without any resistance, which gave the control of one of the important highways into landlocked Afghanistan. They also seized Torkham border post with Pakistanand now Kabul airport is the only way out of Afghanistan that is still in government hands, said the Reuters report. "There are no clashes taking place right now in Jalalabad because the governor has surrendered to the Taliban," a Jalalabad-based Afghan official told Reuters. "Allowing passage to the Taliban was the only way to save civilian lives." The Reuters report stated that the Taliban have distributed a new video clip that showed people cheering and shouting Allahu Akbar - God is greatest - as a convoy of pick-up trucks entered the city with fighters brandishing machine guns and the white Taliban flag. A Taliban official told Reuters the group did not want any casualties as it took charge but had not declared a ceasefire. Meanwhile, US President Biden has authorised the deployment of an additional 1,000 troops to Kabul for assisting with evacuation of US Embassy personnel, bringing the total US troop strength there to 5,000. Biden released a statement (Aug. 14) to this effect, adding that the US State Department would continue supporting efforts to reach a negotiated political settlement, adding that Taliban representatives in Doha have been cautioned that any Taliban action which harms US personnel would be met with a swift military response. Biden is facing criticism in his own country as the Taliban seized city after city at a startling pace, Reuters reported. The withdrawal of the US military started following a plan initiated by his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, to end the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan by Aug. 31.

अफगानिस्तान तालिबानको कब्जामा, अब उसैको सत्ता अफगानिस्तानमा तालिबानले विजय हाँसिल गरेको छ । तालिबान लडाकुले राजधानी काबुल कब्जा गरेसँगै अफगानिस्तान तालिबानको नियन्त्रणमा गएको हो । अफगानिस्तानका राष्ट्रपति राष्ट्रपति अशरफ ग़नी देश छोडेर भागेका छन् । उनले छिमेकी देश उज्वेकिस्तानमा शरण लिएको खबरहरुमा उल्लेख छ । राष्ट्रपति भागेसँगै तालिबान लडाकुहरु राष्ट्रपति कार्यालयमा प्रवेश गरेर आफ्नो विजय घोषणा गरेका हुन् । तालिबानका प्रवक्ताले ‘शान्ति पूर्ण रुपमा शक्तिको हस्तान्तरण’ हुनु पर्ने बताएका छन् । उनले काबुलका नागरिक सुरक्षित रहेको दाबी पनि गरेका छन् । तर काबुल विमानस्थलमा भिडभाड अत्यधिक मात्रामा देखिएको छ । विदेशी, अफगान अधिकारी र अरु नागरिकहरु देश छोड्ने चाहनामा त्यहाँ पुगेका देखिएका छन् । सबै व्यवसायिक उडानहरु रद्द गरिएका छन् । अमेरिका, क्यानडा, बेलायत, जर्मनीसहितले आफ्ना नागरिकको उद्धारका लागि सैनिक विमानको प्रयोग गरेका छन् । तर आफूहरुको सैन्य अभियानको क्रममा सहयोग गरेका अफगानहरुको उद्धारलाई भने उनीहरुले आँखा चिम्लिएका छन् । तालिबानको कब्जामा देश गएसँगै महिलाहरुको अवस्थालाई लिएर चासो र चिन्ता व्यक्त भएको छ । केही क्षेत्रमा तालिबानले महिलाहरुलाई बुर्खा लगाउन बाध्य पारेको खबर आइरहेका छन् । अति तीव्र गतिमा तालिबानले अफगानिस्तानमा आफ्नो नियन्त्रण कायम गर्न सफल भएको हो । मात्रै १० दिनको अन्तरालमा उनीहरुले देशका सबै प्रमुख शहरमा कब्जा जमाएका हुन् । अमेरिकाले सहयोग तथा तालिम प्रदान गरेको अफगान आर्मी तालिबान लडाकु समक्ष निरिह देखिएको हो । अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति जो बाइडेनले केही हप्ता पहिले मात्रै तालिबानले अफगानिस्तानमा पूर्ण नियन्त्रण चाँडै कायम गर्न नसक्ने बताएका थिए । यस्तै अमेरिकी गुप्तचर निकायले पनि काबुलमा नियन्त्रण कायम गर्ने प्रयासका लागि नै कम्तीमा तीन महिना लाग्ने बताएको थियो । तर तालिबानले निकै छिटो आफ्नो प्रभाव कायम गरेका हुन् । सन् २००१ देखि सन्यै अभियान जारी गरेको अमेरिकाले २० वर्षमा अफगान आर्मीमा गरेको लगानीका आधारमा गरेको क्षमताको विश्लेषण गलत भएको विदेश मन्त्री एन्थोनी ब्लिंकेनले बताएका छन् । अमेरिकाको नेतृत्वमा अफगानिस्तानमा जारी रहेको नेटो सैन्य अभियान अन्त्य गर्ने घोषणासँगै तालिबानले नियन्त्रण कायम गर्ने क्रम सुरु गरेको थियो । सन् २००१ मा सत्ताबाट हटाइएको तालिबान फेरि शक्तिमा आउने भएको छ । उसले आफूले पूर्ण अधिकारसहितको सत्ता पाउनु पर्ने बताएको छ । तालिबान शक्तिमा आउने भएसँगै पछिल्लो २० वर्षमा महिला तथा मानवअधिकारको पक्षमा भएको प्रगति गुम्ने जोखिम रहेको भन्दै चिन्ता व्यक्त गरिएको छ ।
