But how can the Taliban do this so quickly?
According to reports, long before the blitzkrieg launched in May, the Taliban had begun to conclude deals and surrender arrangements.
From individual soldiers and low-level government officials to obvious provincial governors and ministers, the insurgents are struggling to reach a deal-the Taliban are almost victorious, why fight?
Facts have proved that this strategy is very effective.
The scenes of their last march to Kabul were not corpses on the streets and bloody battlefields, but photos of the Taliban and government officials sitting comfortably on the sofa when the handover of the city and province was officially confirmed.
According to US reports, less than a month before the fall of Kabul, the Afghan government may collapse within 90 days.
However, once the Taliban occupied their first provincial capital, it only took less than two weeks.
