Earlier it was reported that a serious aggravation of the situation in Afghanistan began this spring - after the US authorities and the NATO leadership began to withdraw troops from the country.

Following the withdrawal of Western troops on the territory of Afghanistan, fighters of the radical Taliban * movement became more active and launched a massive offensive. After occupying several provinces and gaining control over most of the borders, the Taliban attacked major cities and, finally, on August 15, occupied the capital of the state, Kabul. There they captured the largest state institutions and the presidential palace. President Ashraf Ghani and his family managed to escape with his family and closest associates.

Ghani said he left the country "to prevent the massacre." After the president fled, the rebels declared that the war in Afghanistan was "over".

Once in the UAE, where he was granted asylum "for humanitarian purposes," Ghani promised that he would return to his homeland. During Ghani's absence, Vice-President Amrullah Saleh assumed power in the country. He did not accept the victory of the Taliban and called on the population to armed resistance to the invaders. Those, in turn, demanded that the population voluntarily surrender their weapons. Those who publicly opposed their authority were publicly executed.

At the same time, high-ranking Taliban leader Khalil ur Rahman Haqqani said on the air of Pakistani Geo TV that Saleh and Ghani could return to the country if they want.

At the same time, former US President Donald Trump expressed concern that with the withdrawal of the US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, many pieces of ultra-modern military equipment remained, which the Taliban will now seize. This will make them one of the most armed terrorist groups in the world. Trump suggested that sophisticated NATO technology, which the Taliban do not know how to handle, could now be in the hands of Russia or China.
