Taliban threatens US with jihad, seizes more land in Afghanistan after failed peace talks

in #afghanistan5 years ago

The Taliban has taken over another district in Afghanistan, the second in two weeks, saying that the US will “regret” abandoning key peace talks that stalled after Donald Trump called off a much-awaited meeting with the group.

Yangi Qala, a district in Afghanistan’s northern province of Takhar, fell into the hands of Taliban fighters on Tuesday after government troops retreated over fear of greater casualties, local authorities told the media. They sent reinforcements in order to drive the Taliban out of the area, claiming that dozens of militants were killed.

Yeah sure, the US won't pull out their trops after every single drop of oil is extracted from the afgan soil. That's the ugly truth.
