The Taliban has seized Kandahar, Afghanistan's second-largest city, Afghan Member of Parliament Gul Ahmad Kamin told CNN on Friday, as the insurgent group continues its rapid advancement toward the capital Kabul.

Video circulated by the Taliban purports to show victory celebrations in Kandahar, Afghanistan, after the militant group took control of the country's second largest city. CNN cannot independently verify Taliban claims or the authenticity of these videos.

    1. وطن ما را همین امریکا تباه کرد ان شاءالله بلا بدتر از افغانستان سر شما مردم غرب بیاید

  1. 20 years of training and they get run over in a couple weeks? Something tells me there wasn’t a fight.

    1. Yet another Biden Mess, and to make it worse Biden offering money not to take US embassy, has this guy ever got anything right.

    2. Afghan forces knows the future leaders of a country is Taliban thats why they don’t want to get into a trouble.

    1. @Beryllium No, they should all send white girls and muslim girls to marry Chinese men! That’s how we all get rich, baby!

  2. No one wants to talk about all these people riding on a military vehicle? I’ve never seen anything like it.

    1. @S Hnz you realize it was Trumps plan to pull out the American forces that were there right? Biden went through with it because he didn’t think it would be a good look to completely change the plan of the previous President even tho he didn’t think it was a good idea. The point is and this came from the CIA director, “That we should of left that country in 2002 instead of trying to liberate them. Let the taliban have the country & let them know if they let Al-Qaeda back in that we would be back”. As now Al-Qaeda is sure to be let back in along with many other extremist groups.

  3. As much as I detest the Talibs, it’s impossible not to recognize that we propped up an illegitimate government

    1. BMA
      Well it was indeed an Poppet Govt. consisting of drug dealers, child rap###, opressive war lords as well…..
      All the opressors in joined together under one umbrella…

  4. It’s over Charlie. Let’s just try to get out of there with all our diplomats as soon as we can. Well say this war should have been over 20 years ago.

    1. Yet another Biden Mess, and to make it worse Biden offering money not to take US embassy, has this guy ever got anything right.

    2. @Dub Line No they didn’t, Americans & allies started this bs war by going into Iraq, weapons of mass destruction bs remember!
      Everything has moved on from there, yes Afghanistan gave Al Qaeda safe passage too Pakistan, that doesn’t give anyone the right to invade.

    3. @Nancy Tucker That’s taking it a bit far, unless you’re talking about the Taliban & Afghan forces. US & allies went into Afghanistan in 01 then Iraq in 03 yet Al Qaeda leaders were in Pakistan, didn’t invade them.

    1. Why not, US think they can change everything and dictate others. It still using the slogan“ Kill the Indain in the child .“

    2. I saw it coming since they negotiated with the Taliban. Negotiating with the Taliban means that the Taliban is the strong hand and the Afghan government is nothing. The negotiations were between USA and Taliban, without the Afghan government.

    3. Remember when Biden said July, Taliban will not take over Afghanistan and that things were “under control”.

    1. @Ray c Well the irony is that red states are costing blue states a ton of money. Succesful governing a blue state draws successful people. That makes inequality inevitable. In red states pretty much everyone is miserable as if they’re commie states. That the Taliban are winning is because the common people want them. Just watch yt for people cheering the Taliban up as they liberate cities.

    2. @Mocro Lion every one is fleeing California and new York. And those two states have more homeless than the rest of the country combined. All Dems and you want to blame reps. You are a joke, sorry !

    3. ​@Mocro Lionit’s smart of grandpa to leave now?
      Do you understand that it is his choice?
      He could have negotiated peace before withdrawing.As Trump was doing.
      You know, of course, that the Taliban have always had their offensive in the spring and summer for 20 years?
      And that all Taliban soldiers go home to their villages and families in the winter?
      Mass executions are currently underway on civilians, women and children.
      So it’s well done Biden, the right time to go.
      Girls are not allowed to go to school anymore.
      But the Democrats do not care, we know that.
      Well done “NOT”!

  5. Nothing like staging vehicles and weapons and tons of ammo for the enemy under the cover of a troop withdraw. Our guberment is disgusting.

  6. Helping Afghanistan was never the mission. 20 years of weapon manufacturing and sales justification is all this was about. CNN do your job!

    1. As if CNN isn’t very transparently a cog in the machine of the military industrial complex. They help pump these conflicts, they commercialize the coverage and they provide a platform for the message of the benefactors of war. Don’t kid yourself, they are doing their job .

    2. @Yalds A people hated what the Americans did but no way would they support the Taliban. They are liars. While people hated what the Americans did, they definitely didn’t want them to just leave the way they are. I feel depressed knowing Afghan families are stuck where they are.

    3. @Crying Conservative United States Hating Terrorists have perfect areas to hide and educate their followers.
      Like IS and Al Qaida.
      Americans will die from terrorist attacks in the future!
      ANOTHER GREAT JOB done by JOE!
      He should be ashamed.
      it’s smart of grandpa to leave now.

  7. Ali Latifi in his previous interviews was so optimistic often belittling the Taliban reaching major cities.
    Now he is shocked by his realization and how he is out of touch.

    1. Frauden even leave them weapons so the Taliban can have more arsenal now.. apart of that China will have new patents for free.

  8. We need to send out the human rights lawyers and judges so they can defend the Afghans. All the Labour MPs who want to fight deportations. This is there chance to fight for all their human rights.

  9. Soon the democrats will fly a plane of cash over to the Taliban for some type of agreement that the Taliban will ignore.

  10. They don’t even need guns to take the city if there’s zero resistance. Haven’t heard a peep about fighting before they just suddenly own another city.

  11. I remember roughly 10 years ago or so.. CNN was interviewing a taliban soldier in Afghanistan who wished to remain anonymous. His message for the camera crew and everyone watching was in regards to the US military : “We will win.” To which the interviewer asked, “How could you be so sure about that when you’re up against arguably the strongest military in the world?” And the taliban soldier mentioned something about the longevity of being able to cope being in an environment like that, and the terrain surrounding it.

  12. “We bring you our security correspondent who is live in London”. He is so close to the action 😂.

    1. Lol right after they run some enemy news feed. That’s really just boils down CNN and there corona coverage

  13. We lost our hopes, dreams achievements and our happy times end. We are abandoned by world . No one step up keep watching our children being slaughtered😭😭 a pain is deep down can’t say our sorrow for what is happening there. All know who they are where they are coming from still we are being slaughtered

    1. I support u from Bangladesh

      May Allah bring peace and destroy the terrorist and Back pakistan to their business

      🇧🇩🇦🇫💜💜💜
