The Taliban* currently controls more than two-thirds of Afghanistan as the militant group is closing in on the capital Kabul amid reports that the city may soon fall.
Taliban militants have invaded the palatial home of General Rashid Dostum, a top Afghan warlord and former vice president, as well as a key US ally during America’s nearly 20-year campaign against the terrorist group. On Saturday, a video emerged online appearing to show the insurgents lounging on Dostum’s gold furniture and inspecting a golden tea set amid reports that the general had escaped and is in «a safe place now».
