The Taliban have momentum on their side as the US withdrawal pushes forward.
The speed of the advance is sending shockwaves across the country, affecting the morale of government troops, and worrying those who have relied on US security.
Across the north of Afghanistan, government troops have surrendered districts without a fight.
More than 1,000 Afghan soldiers fled to neighbouring Tajikistan on Monday.
That prompted Tajik President Emomali Rahmon to call up 20,000 reserve troops to the border with Afghanistan.
