Dropping that money from helicopters on the Afghan refugee camps will be a lot more happy ending.

Ghani and his family given asylum by UAE on humanitarian grounds. Ghani reportedly left with 169$ mil. Not surprised UAE gave him asylum. The amount of cash he left with is catered to such people by network of banks & cartels and Dubai is a major hub of it.

Yousuf scored 5 173 vs India - home 202 & 192 vs England - away 192 & 191 vs West Indies - home Root at 4 228 & 186 vs Sri Lanka - away 218 vs India - away 180 vs India - home

Root can break Yousuf's record of most 150+ runs in a year back in 2006

I'm pretty sure White House meetings before killing another county's general are also like this

It's so small and not even some sort of capital territory ! If it can be a state why can't Pluto be a planet !?

Right now the push should be for including an ethnically diverse government. There is no other way for stability. I seriously think like Taliban started an insurgency being ousted from power. Other groups also might start against them if they are rigid in their approach. China Russia posturing they are ready to accept the new rule.

@El Profesor Reports are Ghani left with helicopters full of cash lol It's not just they were corrupt but in political sway they were no bodies before US backed them. Look at the other presidential candidate Abdullah he's still there & will possible be part of future government but US never backed him but choose Ghani who immediately left.

Update: Ghani has been refused to land in Tajikistan and he's now off to Oman. From there to US most likely

Soviet did had advantages like having direct geographical link with Afghanistan to support the government and from what I've seen from people comparing the two recently they did some actual development. US withdrawal is a lot more embarrassing. But I'm no fan of the brand socialism seen in Afghanistan either.

They can't hold out for long if this news is true.

Five people dead as American security forces fire at people at the airport.

Third time Windies win a test by a wicket, two of them against us

This. People are overlooking the class difference element here.

Coming months will be important how new govt under Taliban is formed. Those governors who switched to join them must have some conditions. And what their foreign policy would be.

Siege of Kabul on the way. US helicopters are there to evacuate. Tbh yeah it is way more quicker than anyone thought even if you take all the pragmatic things into account. From an estimate of 90 days but lasting less than a week !

The local governors who were supposed to resist are being pragmatic. Firstly they had their own grudges with Kabul under Ghani and secondly the way allied troops are leaving people who helped them stranded. They are not willing to fight. It's always been like that in Afghanistan Taliban were once partners with US now enemies, warlords who were enemies of Taliban are joining them.

Ismail Khan the guy from northern alliance who fought the Taliban back in the 90s was brought back for defending Herat but he has agreed a settlement with them, gave out a video that he's being treated well. Taliban are solely focusing on taking major capitals in the North to stop any Northern Alliance 2.0 from emerging. They are taking them by political back hand deals which were probably on going weeks before this.

Taken over Herat the third largest city and claiming to have taken Kandhar. The Governors of respective places are agreeing surrender settlements in return of safe passages. U. S reportedly has agreed with the Taliban a safe passage for their diplomatic staff in Kabul. It's a matter of when it happens. Was Vietnam as big a quagmire as this !? Read a piece by an American 'expert' that only way to stop Taliban is too ethnically target rural Pashtuns since they make the majority of them ! lol they refuse to learn
