Taliban Take Over Ghazni City, Afghan Gov’t Arrests Governor
[ToloNews] The Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
on Thursday morning captured Ghazni city, the capital of Ghazni province, without any resistance from the security forces.

The head of the Ghazni provincial council in a Facebook post said that the governor of Ghazni handed over the city to the Taliban following his discussion with a Taliban commander Abu Bakr and then left the city toward Kabul with the escort of the Taliban.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!...
the Ministry of Interior said that governor of Ghazni province and his colleagues were arrested by security forces this afternoon.

The security forces are now deployed at an army base and fighting is ongoing between the security forces and the Taliban.

"They had an arrangement with him (governor), he might have thought there would be no accountability about how much money he had stolen that we sent to the security forces or how much he got from the Taliban," said Amanullah Kamrani, the deputy head of Ghazni provincial council.

"Currently most areas in Ghazni city are under Taliban control," said Naseer Ahmad Faqiri, the head of Ghazni's provincial council.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the Taliban have started house-to-house searches in Pul-e-Khumri, the center of Baghlan province.

Sources have said that Kunduz governor Ehsanullah Omarzad and Zabardast Safi, the police chief of Kunduz, are in Taliban custody.

"Everything in Kunduz has been looted, all government assets are in bad condition in Kunduz," said Amruddin Wali, the head of the Kunduz provincial council.

"The government has done nothing so far," said Naseer Sadiq, a journalist in the north.

"The scale of the tragedy in Badakhshan is very large, there are no exact figures are available so far," said Zabihullah Atiq, MP.

Meanwhile, footage shared on social media shows the Taliban dragging a person in Farah city, throwing him into a hole, and then killing him.

The Taliban have taken over ten cities.
Police in Wardak province have arrested Daoud Laghmani, provincial governor of Ghazni which was apparently handed to the Taliban fighters on Thursday, August 12.

Ministry of Interior Affairs said that the governor along with his deputy and chief of staff have been arrested and disarmed in Wardak province.

Laghmani was let go and escorted by the Taliban from Ghazni province to Wardak province.

Mirwais Stanikzai, spokesperson of the ministry said that parts of Ghazni province have fallen to the Taliban while Afghan forces are still active in other parts of the quiet provincial capital and will launch operations against the fighters.

Meanwhile,
...back at the saloon, Butch got the bill for the damage caused by the fist fight, the mirror broken in the shootout, and drinks for everyone......
the governor of Farah province along with the mayor of Farah city and other local officials have surrendered to the Taliban and then fled to neighboring Iran.

Earlier, the head of the provincial council of Jawzjan province had also joined the Taliban along with his 12 button men.
