Several hundred government soldiers have surrendered to the Taliban

The army corps of the Afghan government forces surrendered to the Taliban in the area of ​​the administrative center of Kunduz province, The Washington Post reported on August 11.

According to the newspaper, several hundred Afghan soldiers defending a military base near Kunduz airport surrendered and transferred all weapons and equipment to the Taliban (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).

Local officials say some of the Afghan military has moved from the airport to the mountains.

As reported by IA REGNUM , against the backdrop of the withdrawal of US troops and their satellites from Afghanistan, the Taliban seized nine of the country's 34 administrative centers and continue to attack the forces of the Afghan government.

#3 RANTBURG is about the war on terror, Papa Punts. Therefore we have stories like this. If this does not interest you, why are you here?

#6 The question was "why the USA should care" not "why this should be published on Rantburg."

Unsurprisingly, there's no answer. Because there isn't one.

#8 "Dignified Transition" ceremony in the Stans. Little "dignified" about how this conflict evolved and ultimately culminated. The entire country wasn't worth the life of one American.

#10 The last time the U.S. didn’t bother to care the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were attacked. The Capitol building was reportedly supposed to be hit, too, but some very brave men on the third airplane said, “Lets roll!” and ended up crashed into a field instead.

The question is how to care more effectively than has been done for most of the past two decades.
