Citizens rush to leave Afghanistan as Taliban retake territory. Can Afghanistan become an epicenter force to destabilize Asia? #Afghanistan #Taliban #NatoTroops #DWNews

US President Joe Biden believes it can work. But Afghans do not have as much faith in their government as Biden. As military troops depart, they too are looking for a way out. People are flocking to passport offices in Kabul - to plan their exit. For the soldiers of the Afghan National and Defense Forces, that's not an option. Some feel the country is finally their own – and they intend to hold it – keeping the Taliban at bay. Meanwhile, the Taliban are gaining ever more ground in Afghanistan. Over the past weeks, they've been on the offensive, releasing propaganda videos and taking control of many districts. It won't be until the last US troops pull out on September 11th that the world will finally learn what the Taliban have planned.
