Kabul-Sana
The Taliban announced it had entered several neighborhoods in the Afghan capital, Kabul, and had taken control of the presidential palace, hours after President Ashraf Ghani left the country.
"Our military units have entered the city of Kabul and their progress is continuing normally," Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the movement's gunmen, said in a tweet today, noting that the movement's gunmen took control of the presidential palace.
And the Afghan Tolo News channel announced earlier today that the Afghan president left the capital, Kabul, after Taliban militants entered the city.
These rapid developments come after the US President's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan by next September to end the two-decade occupation and invasion of this country that claimed tens of thousands of victims and left massive destruction under the pretext of fighting terrorism.
