the pink areas are taliban-controlled. the lighter yellow is government-controlled, and you can see, bill, the darker yellow is a huge chunk of the country. those lands are currently under taliban threat. what do you see as the insurgent strategy and objective? >> yeah, the insurgents -- the taliban's objectives is to seize control of afghanistan, to reestablish islamic emirate of afghanistan, that's the name to have the government prior to the u.s. invasion, they will do it by force or diplomacy, and via diplomacy means the taliban will accept the afghan government surrender. the afghan government has not surrenders so the taliban is taking it by force. they have taken areas in the west and north, these are strategic areas for the afghan government. many afghan power is based in the north. the taliban could easily take much to have the south and east if it focused its forces there, but, instead, what the taliban decided to do is to go straight after the governmenstrength, and that's why seven of the nine provincial capita

by taking control of these, these new places. so look good. the security situation has been, has been betty bad for the last month now. but you know, i feel that the situation is deteriorating at a much foster read. i think last week the thought about putting a lot of pressure on provincial capital in the south of the country. and now they've stepped up in the north. one of the provincial capital to call couldn't do it was one of the cities that the government identified as cities that they wanted to defend. and so, losing condos to the taliban and, you know, and diverse political signal to, to supported up the gun. republics. it suggests that the gun republic is on a vicar, political, and military 14 bennett has been cleaning these these last few weeks. i'm sure, thanks very taliban will be able to hold on to conduce i think the government is going to try a made it offensive. then certainly, you know, put up a major effort, but the taliban had experience of gaining and losing condos twice. they began at once in 2015 and lost it and then they
