Taliban Takeover Afghanistan | Fall of Kabul | Why it happened?

Taliban has completely occupied Afghanistan now. The Afghan Government has fallen.b And Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani has fled the country. According to some reports, he went to Tajikistan. Some reports claim that he fled to Uzbekistan. The other countries are trying to evacuate their citizens from Kabul, as soon as possible. On 15th August, Taliban entered Kabul. And it went inside the Presidential Palace. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany are on the long list of countries that have shut down their embassies in Afghanistan. The US embassy has also been completely evacuated. And the remaining people are trying to escape the country via the Kabul airport. Because Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan, and the Taliban has occupied it from all sides.The only place remaining for the people was the Kabul airport. If they wanted to leave the country. For this reason, some horrifying videos have come in from the Kabul airport.

The US President Joe Biden had claimed that the Taliban has around 85,000 fighters. But the Afghanistan army had 300,000 soldiers. So the Afghan army could easily defend itself. "Is the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan now inevitable?" No, it is not. You have the Afghan troops at 300,000. Well equipped. As well equipped as any army in the world. And an air force. Against something like 75,000 Taliban. It is not inevitable."

The US Intelligence experts had said that it would take the Taliban 3-4 months to get control of the entire country. But in just a few weeks,very easily, Taliban has overthrown the Afghan Government. Perhaps the reason behind it is that there has been little to no resistance from the Afghan army. Afghanistan's President stated in a Facebook post

that he left Kabul because he didn't want bloodshed. But in reality, Corruption, Poor leadership Lack of training and low morale were among the reasons why the Afghanistan army showed no resistance. They did not fight back against the Taliban. Last year, when Donald Trump was the President of America, the USA had signed a peace deal with the Taliban. For the Afghan soldiers, it was a betrayal. They questioned how America could go and have talks with their enemies and sign a peace deal. And now, under Joe Biden, when the USA, is withdrawing the American army,

it was even more demoralising for the Afghan soldiers. They doubted their ability to fight without any military support. On the other hand, very strategically, the Taliban used propaganda and psychological operations against the Afghan army. Instead of declaring all-out war, they sent text messages to the Afghan soldiers. bombarded them saying that if they don't fight them they will not be killed and their family members would also be safe. They were threatened so much, that thousands of soldiers deserted the Afghanistan army. And they switched sides. Because at the end of the day, any common man prioritises his and his family's security. They know that if they give in to the Taliban they'll survive. Their family would survive. So why wouldn't they choose the option? Especially then when on the other hand, their leader isn't very motivated himself. He isn't confident of a win.
