Senior Afghan officials and hundreds of Afghan government forces in the country’s west and south surrendered to the Taliban early Friday after the militants overran three key cities, inching the country closer to collapse in the final days of the U.S. withdrawal. #Afghanistan The recent advances by the militant group,largely achieved with little resistance from Afghan government forces despite years of U.S. training & support, are isolating the Afghan capital with stunning speed and increasingly weakening the administration of President Ashraf Ghani.
