Abdul Aziz Bek, head of the Badghis provincial council, said Afghan forces had also launched air strikes against Taliban fighters.

It is feared that the Taliban are trying to gain control of the country. However, the United States has repeatedly said that the world will not recognize the Taliban if they occupy and dominate. Afghan affairs expert and senior journalist Sami Yousafzai says the Taliban's intentions are completely clear. Are They want to regain control not only of Afghanistan but also of the system.

He said the Taliban's "morale and morale are very high at the moment and they think they will wrap up the government in a few months."

The Afghan affairs expert added that he did not think that if the Taliban returned to power, his government would be different from the previous one. Because according to the UN Charter, maintaining human rights, controlling terrorism and maintaining relations with the international community on the basis of equality is not enough for the Taliban.

After gaining control of more than 100 districts in northern Afghanistan, the Taliban have reportedly begun moving to provincial headquarters. As a result, the atmosphere of fear has increased.

Shabbir Ahmad Ahmadi hails from Faizabad, the district headquarters of Badakhshan province. He says locals are afraid of the Taliban.

Ahmadi said he had received reports that wherever the Taliban had gained control, He asked women not to leave the house without a mahram, to strictly observe the veil and to avoid shaving the barber's beard.

The Taliban's successive occupation of Afghan territory has raised questions about the training and capabilities of the Afghan National Army. Most areas are where Afghan forces handed over to the Taliban without a fight.

Sami Yousafzai says the sudden withdrawal of US and coalition forces appears to have had a psychological effect on Afghan forces, with negative effects increasingly being felt.

"Afghan special forces are very strong and have fought the Taliban at every level," he said. He said the Taliban had never overpowered special forces and that the Afghan government had always used them as a "trouble shooter".
