The Taliban has seized Kandahar, Afghanistan's second-largest city, Afghan Member of Parliament Gul Ahmad Kamin told CNN on Friday, as the insurgent group continues its rapid advancement toward the capital Kabul.
Video circulated by the Taliban purports to show victory celebrations in Kandahar, Afghanistan, after the militant group took control of the country's second largest city. CNN cannot independently verify Taliban claims or the authenticity of these videos.

Can it be called “capturing” when the security forces just give up without a fight ?
Lol. So true
@Traitor Joe’s wtf did you want him to do? We can’t be there forever.
I like without fighting capture these cities
May be Government change in Afghanistan is good for world
وطن ما را همین امریکا تباه کرد ان شاءالله بلا بدتر از افغانستان سر شما مردم غرب بیاید
Like Biden said he will return things to normal. The man is a fool.
20 years of training and they get run over in a couple weeks? Something tells me there wasn’t a fight.
@Silky LewJr I’m an authentic stable genius, sparky. Thanks for playing.
@Yusuf Hanif fax also American government for sure
Lol what? Afghan opium is shipped to the states. Why do you think we ha e such a bas problem.
Yet another Biden Mess, and to make it worse Biden offering money not to take US embassy, has this guy ever got anything right.
Afghan forces knows the future leaders of a country is Taliban thats why they don’t want to get into a trouble.
The Afghan Army just changed uniforms.
@Fazle RinaldiYes It Was. Cope And Seethe.
@Fazle RinaldiKeep Coping. I Could Send You The Evidence…
Yet another Biden Mess, and to make it worse Biden offering money not to take US embassy, has this guy ever got anything right.
I would too! They’ll miss the American money. Online so much smack you can sell.
The “Afghan army” “trained” was a joke. It was a waste of American personnel and material.
@Beryllium No, they should all send white girls and muslim girls to marry Chinese men! That’s how we all get rich, baby!
@Hcaz1113 None of what you said is true. I’m just curious if you could ever admit that.
Yet another Biden Mess, and to make it worse Biden offering money not to take US embassy, has this guy ever got anything right.
clearly
it looks like ISIS, Daesh is in a new wrapper now they call them taliban.
No one wants to talk about all these people riding on a military vehicle? I’ve never seen anything like it.
@Basilica Philosophica not much longer.
@S Hnz you realize it was Trumps plan to pull out the American forces that were there right? Biden went through with it because he didn’t think it would be a good look to completely change the plan of the previous President even tho he didn’t think it was a good idea. The point is and this came from the CIA director, “That we should of left that country in 2002 instead of trying to liberate them. Let the taliban have the country & let them know if they let Al-Qaeda back in that we would be back”. As now Al-Qaeda is sure to be let back in along with many other extremist groups.
@S Hnz same exact thing happened in Vietnam
The Afghan people are exited to meet their liberators.
Yet another Biden Mess, and to make it worse Biden offering money not to take US embassy, has this guy ever got anything right.
As much as I detest the Talibs, it’s impossible not to recognize that we propped up an illegitimate government
wise words. Taliban is medieval. But let a country be its own country.
BMA
Well it was indeed an Poppet Govt. consisting of drug dealers, child rap###, opressive war lords as well…..
All the opressors in joined together under one umbrella…
This was all planned meticulously by the US. They never cared to “fix” Afghanistan.
@Budget Bikeswhat’s backwards
The Taliban wouldn’t even exist anymore if we didnt help destabilize the whole country in the 80s
It’s over Charlie. Let’s just try to get out of there with all our diplomats as soon as we can. Well say this war should have been over 20 years ago.
@LLL or a bunch of dumb@ss tourist who thought it would be a good idea to live on the edge.
Yet another Biden Mess, and to make it worse Biden offering money not to take US embassy, has this guy ever got anything right.
@Nancy Tucker Fake bs my arse. Just like the weapons of mass destruction.
@Dub Line No they didn’t, Americans & allies started this bs war by going into Iraq, weapons of mass destruction bs remember!
Everything has moved on from there, yes Afghanistan gave Al Qaeda safe passage too Pakistan, that doesn’t give anyone the right to invade.
@Nancy Tucker That’s taking it a bit far, unless you’re talking about the Taliban & Afghan forces. US & allies went into Afghanistan in 01 then Iraq in 03 yet Al Qaeda leaders were in Pakistan, didn’t invade them.
Lol…… what a gullible public!…… they pulled out so they could go back in.
a”stunning” turn of events…. ya. who could have ever seen this coming
Why not, US think they can change everything and dictate others. It still using the slogan“ Kill the Indain in the child .“
I saw it coming since they negotiated with the Taliban. Negotiating with the Taliban means that the Taliban is the strong hand and the Afghan government is nothing. The negotiations were between USA and Taliban, without the Afghan government.
Remember when Biden said July, Taliban will not take over Afghanistan and that things were “under control”.
“We did it Joe!!!”
@Ray c Well the irony is that red states are costing blue states a ton of money. Succesful governing a blue state draws successful people. That makes inequality inevitable. In red states pretty much everyone is miserable as if they’re commie states. That the Taliban are winning is because the common people want them. Just watch yt for people cheering the Taliban up as they liberate cities.
@Mocro Lion Idiot of the day award.
@Mocro Lion every one is fleeing California and new York. And those two states have more homeless than the rest of the country combined. All Dems and you want to blame reps. You are a joke, sorry !
@Mocro Lionit’s smart of grandpa to leave now?
Do you understand that it is his choice?
He could have negotiated peace before withdrawing.As Trump was doing.
You know, of course, that the Taliban have always had their offensive in the spring and summer for 20 years?
And that all Taliban soldiers go home to their villages and families in the winter?
Mass executions are currently underway on civilians, women and children.
So it’s well done Biden, the right time to go.
Girls are not allowed to go to school anymore.
But the Democrats do not care, we know that.
Well done “NOT”!
@TheU2001 MIA 😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing like staging vehicles and weapons and tons of ammo for the enemy under the cover of a troop withdraw. Our guberment is disgusting.
Helping Afghanistan was never the mission. 20 years of weapon manufacturing and sales justification is all this was about. CNN do your job!
As if CNN isn’t very transparently a cog in the machine of the military industrial complex. They help pump these conflicts, they commercialize the coverage and they provide a platform for the message of the benefactors of war. Don’t kid yourself, they are doing their job .
@Crying Conservative one in the same…
@Fram3rMike not at all the same…..
@Yalds A people hated what the Americans did but no way would they support the Taliban. They are liars. While people hated what the Americans did, they definitely didn’t want them to just leave the way they are. I feel depressed knowing Afghan families are stuck where they are.
@Crying Conservative United States Hating Terrorists have perfect areas to hide and educate their followers.
Like IS and Al Qaida.
Americans will die from terrorist attacks in the future!
ANOTHER GREAT JOB done by JOE!
He should be ashamed.
it’s smart of grandpa to leave now.

Ali Latifi in his previous interviews was so optimistic often belittling the Taliban reaching major cities.
Now he is shocked by his realization and how he is out of touch.
Frauden even leave them weapons so the Taliban can have more arsenal now.. apart of that China will have new patents for free.
“You have the watches. We have the time.” Nice job, US, as always…
so says the taliban… truthful
The legendary words of Mullah Muhammad Omar ra
We need to send out the human rights lawyers and judges so they can defend the Afghans. All the Labour MPs who want to fight deportations. This is there chance to fight for all their human rights.
hahahahahaha 20years sending american soldiers to be butchered for literally nothing omg.
Soon the democrats will fly a plane of cash over to the Taliban for some type of agreement that the Taliban will ignore.
ye right after when a republican will sellout its nation infavor of israel
They don’t even need guns to take the city if there’s zero resistance. Haven’t heard a peep about fighting before they just suddenly own another city.
I remember roughly 10 years ago or so.. CNN was interviewing a taliban soldier in Afghanistan who wished to remain anonymous. His message for the camera crew and everyone watching was in regards to the US military : “We will win.” To which the interviewer asked, “How could you be so sure about that when you’re up against arguably the strongest military in the world?” And the taliban soldier mentioned something about the longevity of being able to cope being in an environment like that, and the terrain surrounding it.
“We bring you our security correspondent who is live in London”. He is so close to the action 😂.
Lol right after they run some enemy news feed. That’s really just boils down CNN and there corona coverage
