Taliban capture sixth Afghan provincial capital, Aibak

[Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

Press TV] The Talibs have captured Aibak, the sixth Afghan picturesque provincial capital, the deputy governor of the province says, as the gunnies press on with their northern offensive following the weekend’s rapid advances.
The gunnies on Monday stormed Aibak, the capital city of the north-central province of Samangan, without a battle after community elders pleaded with officials to spare the city from further violence following weeks of festivities on its outskirts, said Sefatullah Samangani, the deputy governor of the province.
"The governor accepted and withdrew all the forces from the city," he noted, adding that the Talibs were now in "full control" of Aibak.
Separately, AFP cited an unnamed Taliban
 ...Arabic for students ...
front man as confirming that the city has been taken by the bully boy group.
Earlier, Talibs had overrun five picturesque provincial capitals across the north, sparking fears the central government in Kabul is quickly losing control of the region.
The latest city to fall was Taloqan, the capital of the northern province of Takhar, which was overrun by the marauding gunnies Sunday afternoon. It became the third major provincial center to fall to the Taliban in one day, according to local reports.
The gunnies have also captured Zaranj, the capital of Nimroz province, in the southwest.
After seizing Sheberghan to its west, and Kunduz and Taloqan to its east, Talibs said earlier on Monday that they were launching an offensive on Mazar-e-Sharif, the largest city in the north that plays a vital role for the government to maintain assert control over the region.
However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
residents of the city contested claims by Taliban, saying the group is exaggerating, with festivities confined to surrounding districts.
"The enemy is trying to distort public opinion and create anxiety for the civilian population by their propaganda," said a statement, quoted by AFP, from the provincial police force in Balkh province, where Mazar-e-Sharif is the capital.
Atta Mohammad Noor, the city’s longtime strongman, vowed to fight against the Taliban to the end, saying there would be "resistance until the last drop of my blood."
"I prefer dying in dignity than dying in despair," he tweeted.
Adds Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
Fighting continues in Herat, Lashkargah and Kandahar. Today the assault on the provincial capital Baghlan began, where the army and the militias are still confidently holding the defenses ..
Also, the Taliban came to the close approaches to Mazar-i-Sharif. The fall of another 5-6 provincial centers in the coming week could accelerate the fall of the Ghani government and the collapse of the existing political regime in Afghanistan.
