The Taliban has captured the city of Jalalabad, the capital of the Nangarhar. This comes barely a day after the Taliban wrested control of the fourth largest city of Afghanistan, Mazar-i-Sharif.

After the fall of Jalalabad, Kabul remains the only big city under the former top senior advisor of the Ashraf Ghani government. The news was confirmed of Jalalabad`s fall, hoping the Taliban will not harm civilians. "My birth city, Jalalabad one of the best cities in the world, also collapsed into the hand of the Taliban. Business is as usual, and I hope the Taliban do not harm civilians in the province. God and the world are watching them, and they have to prove that they are changed," said M. Shafiq Hamdam. Ghani had chaired a coordination meeting with officials on the security of Kabul and the neighboring provinces. While seeing the media reports, the meeting was attended by US Charge d`Affaires Ross Wilson and US forces commander and both vowed their support to Afghan forces. Afghan is witnessing a surge in violence by the Taliban. They have now intensified its offensive against Afghan forces and civilians with the complete pullback of foreign forces just a few weeks away.

Ghani further said he will not allow ‘the imposed war’ on Afghans to bring further killings, loss of the gains of the last two decades, and continued instability.
