Afghanistan’s president addressed the nation on Saturday amid reports Taliban rebels have captured a key town south of the country’s capital of Kabul.

President Ashraf Ghani did not respond to the Taliban’s demands he resign before any talks about a potential ceasefire and political settlement can proceed, but he said reintegration of security and defence forces is a top priority for the government.

“As your president my focus is on preventing further instability, violence and displacement of my people,” Ghani said in a televised address.

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan’s second largest city, Kandahar, on Friday.
