Afghanistan: Kabul is the last major city controlled by the Afghan government | DW News

The Taliban have taken control of Mazar-i-Sharif and have seized Jalalabad, the capital of the eastern province of Nangarhar. The Taliban say they are still undecided on whether to seize Kabul.

Omar Samad, a former Afghan ambassador to France and Canada, told DW Saturday that President Ashraf Ghani's resignation could lead to an interim government, which he said could possibly avert a Taliban attack on Kabul.

"Apparently, the president is not still ready to step down in order to pave the way for an interim government, a transitional period for Afghanistan that would probably save Kabul from any type of attack," Samad said.
