As Kabul is likely to fall, the Taliban shoots back into the international spotlight

Probably one of the world’s most prolific terrors groups — the Taliban insurgents have made extraordinary progress in their quest to take over Afghanistan. According to media reports in the area, insurgents have pillaged so much of the country its capital is believed to be next.

The AP reports that the terror group now controls a whopping 10 regional areas of the country’s 34 total areas. It is understood that they are making so much ground in an effort to take over Kabul — the country’s main government sector and seat of immense power.

Following the American withdrawal from the area the Taliban almost immediately seized the country. Critics far and wide have blamed America for abandoning a country they helped destroy. Translators and linguists left behind are also feeling the brunt of the insurgent group as many have been forced to flee for their lives.
