Taliban made another two capitals on Sunday as they won the base in their war to take over the cities of Afghanistan to most rural areas in recent months. The rebels have gained four provincial main cities in a fast attack since Friday, which seemed flooded with violence.
Kunduz and Sar e pul in the north have sunk on Sunday within a few hours of each other, but not without violent fight legislators and residents in cities confirmed. Kunduz residents described the city as wrapped in “total chaos”.
“After a few violent battles, Mujahideen, with the grace of God, conquered Kunduz capital,” Taliban said in a statement. “Mujahadeen also captured Sar e Pul city, government buildings, and all facilities there.”
Parwina Azimi, a women’s rights activist in Sar e Pul, Tell AFP on the phone that government officials and the remaining armed forces retreated about three km from the city to a barrack.
“A plane came … but could not [land],” she said. However, the most important Taliban advantage is the rebels bring an attack on the market in May because the foreign armed forces began the last stage of retreat.
It is a long-term goal for the Taliban, which has grown rapidly in the city in 2015 in 2015 and 2016, but it can never be kept long.
The Ministry of Defense said the state forces struggled to retire the main areas.
“Commando troops launched clearing activity. Some areas, including national radio and television buildings, were cleared from Taliban terrorists,” said it in a statement.
A spokesman for Afghan security forces also explained “extremely [heavy] fights” in Kunduz because the security forces protect the city as a pricing strategy, which is the gateway to the northern mineral and central Asian provinces.
But a provincial Jag in Kunduz told Reuters, the rebels participated in important buildings in the city with 270,000 people, which worried that it could be the latest to fall into the Taliban.
“Heavy Clash started yesterday afternoon, all government center- are controlled by Taliban, only military and airport bases with ANDSF (Afghan national security forces) from the place they are resisting the Taliban” Amrudddin Wali, a member of Kunduz Prefecture Conference, said.
Hospitals in Kunduz said 14 bodies, including women and children, and more than 30 injured people were brought to the hospital. Kabul cannot prove the importance of the survival of the usual government.

On Friday, the Taliban has employed the capital of its first Province of Zaranj in the southwest of Nimroz on the border with Iran and saw it later the province of North Jawzjan the next day.
Fights are also reported in Herat’s suburbs in the West and Lashkar Gah and Kandahar in the south.
The progress rate of the Taliban has conquered the state government forces, but they stopped on Saturday after the United States forces bombard the Taliban positions in Therbanan.
“The US armed forces have protected an airless airspace in recent days to protect our Afghanistan partners in recent days,” Major Nicole Ferrara, the Center Commander, said AFP in Washington.
Terberberhan is the fortress of Afghanistan Warlord Rashid Rashid, which has militia and government forces to move back to the airport. The government has said little about the fall of the provincial capitals, other than vowing they would be retaken.
That has been a familiar response to most Taliban gains of recent weeks, although government forces have largely failed to make good on promises to retake dozens of districts and border posts.
The withdrawal of foreign forces is due to be complete at the end of this month, ahead of the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States that sparked the invasion which toppled the Taliban. combat Taliban in the 1990s – along with allegations of his forces killed thousands of insurgents.
