The Taliban has announced total conquest Kandahar following fierce fighting, as officials confirm that government forces have retreated from the second-largest city.
Gul Ahmad Kamin, an Afghan member of parliament, confirmed the city was no longer under the control of the Kabul government.
‘Many (government) soldiers surrendered and the rest fled,’ he told CNN, adding that some Afghan forces were still waiting to be evacuated from the city.
Government forces are reportedly still in control of Kandahar’s airport, which served as one of the largest US military bases in the country.
The Taliban later released a video, purportedly taken in Kandahar city, showing a group of young men standing on top of a military Humvee as they cheered.
