US president on the Afghan situation
It seems like the US president Joe Biden is in shock after the Taliban took over entire Afghanistan in less than a few days. The US has been a big player in the Afghanistan Politics and military situation for many years. After the US president's recent draw-back of the Army, the Taliban started invading capital districts of provinces and managed to take over the country in less than a week, and that too without any opposition from the US-trained Afghan Army.
In the US breaking news today Joe Biden says, in his previous interviews, expressed his views on the power of the Afghan Army. He said, "The Taliban takeover is simply inevitable because the Afghan Army is well trained, has modern warfare and is more in number than the Taliban"!
To his surprise, it only took 75K Taliban to beat an army of 300K in less than a week.
Biden hasn't issued an official statement on the matter but has sent out around five thousand US soldiers to evacuate his people from the new Taliban Territory safely.
Trump Slams Biden
The ex-US president, Donald Trump, held a press conference after the takeover by the Taliban and criticized Biden for his weak strategy and lack of responsibility towards the people of Afghanistan. Also, know that Donald Trump has also demanded immediate resignation from the Biden Government in light of the ongoing events in Afghanistan.
Taliban says, 'We want Peace.'
After taking over the presidential house, the Taliban have requested the people of the country to remain calm and steady as their keen interest is to protect them and provide them with an Islamic State where the rights of every woman, minority, and human being would be protected according to the Shari Laws of Islam. They have also added that they are keen to work with countries from all across the globe but would certainly not let anyone interfere in their country's matters!
