you know, so far. one of the fall of condos city where the taliban have been able to take control of most of the city as well as government buildings come in. quick succession. the city of fall upon which is the capital of the province just next door also fell to the taliban. when the governor, the police chief and head of intelligence department, they abandoned the city. the forces from the area who are fighting against the taliban for weeks. also left, so it is, you know, having a dominant impact in the spill over impact of these major provincial capital falling now has a serious security consequences for a city, missouri show you, one of the, one of the biggest business hubs, a city on the border with the g. apologies on the border with those bikes. and what we're also hearing from one officials in a place like condos and they're also strikes by the americans, as well as by the african government. the costs of this war for ordinary ones for businesses, is simply too much. so whether you talk about a 1000000 in watermelon farm, i includes our business man. everyone is losing. we also heard from the tall about issuing a statement in the city of telephone, instructing its fighters not to take revenge, not to torture, a new one, and not to go to people's homes. dot com is a city which was the home or former normalized leaders and commanders who fought against the taliban in the 1990. that was one of the main basis to come out of my food in 1st 2001 i find this time it was one of their strong holes. these are also provinces that have provided soldiers to the african national security forces. but the worry of ordinary ones, even in a place like cobble is quite clear here is what some cobbler residents spoke to me earlier. today. john of the americans made a bad decision because they left abruptly and paved the way for the taliban to launch an immediate attack. the taliban don't differentiate between the government and public property and infrastructure. they burned down by the old in the current situation. the withdrawal of americans is pretty very costly for us guns. the fighting has gained the property. it spread with high intensity across all of our guns. i'm going to school at one time when the americans came to afghan histone, they came to defeat terrorism. but 20 years have passed and the americans haven't defeated terrorism. instead, terrorism has strengthened, regional and global terrorism has turned of can. it's down into a hub of terror. the people of afghanistan being looted and mercilessly kills and public infrastructure is being destroyed. but i wanted to ask you, because ultimately we have all these stories here about taliban fighters taking certain cities and regions and certain parts of afghan us on. but the taliban also is a political unit as well. in fact, members, there was a taliban delegation that recently was welcomed to china a week or so ago the taliban is apparently trying to gain a political credibility, political attraction as well. what is the general feeling among the people about canister on about the way the taliban is behaving with these military offences? when we have to remember that the top or bottom we're able to take control of more than $200.00 districts center than more areas. after the american announced that they were drawing material from upon this done in the absence of a comprehensive infirmity of these 5 in the absence of a credible in meaningful peace process. this is why the americans, for staff can government to release 6000, all of our leaders and fighters from prison when the americans were having their own withdrawal deal or the taliban. so the african government was never part of those negotiations. then you had this dynamic where you had masser and religion, tribal elders would go and negotiate the surrender of soldiers. so much of the territory and ground did fall without resistance or without a single shot being fired in most cases. i think then what emerge was taliban brutality, you know, the harsh way of them governing whether you talked about, you know, video is appearing, showing, whipping or you know, beheadings in other instances. or you reports of people being executed in prisoners who are taken captive or later on killed. but i think now you're seeing, you know, people standing up to the taliban in some areas. these are former northern lights leader than commanders. not necessarily only in north, in other parts as well. that gets mile hahn is fighting against them. now, 4 weeks actually in the city, hit odd. as well as the african government and then the americans are carrying these strikes. but it is important to point out that the more attacks you have inside major provincial capitals, which have been now the target of taliban violence. you are talking about hundreds and thousands of ones who are living in the cities. so at least 900000 outlines have been displaced according to one stands. and if in in human rights commission, we will have lost their homes. people have lost their harvest, people have lost their businesses. and we are only seeing that days urban attacks are becoming more and more regular for the taliban. so for the time being, this level of violence is quite simply too much. it's unbearable for one civilians, especially the women and children lowing. you know, in place like condos and elsewhere, we do know that civilians were caught in the cross fighting and fighting or the victim. so you know, the cost of this is just way too much for one's painting. a very grim picture of the current situation in major parts and major regions of augusta and local journalists of allow saudi. thank you. well, let's go live, not a kennestone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. joining us here on the international thanks for coming. unable to hear the program, you just heard the report that from bill outside of water, you've heard the reports on our team to national as well. i've got install, major regions, look to be falling to pieces in the wake of the us withdrawal. what is the future and the, the current situation and the future for this country? now, do you think while i think that if the taliban ends up taking power in kabul by itself or in a coalition with other parties and is able to form a stable government in afghanistan without having a civil war in that country. i think that not only afghan of stan, but also asia will be turning a page all of asia because it will mean that the u. s. is not physically there in the center of asia bordering on the country of its rivals, what it perceives to be its rivals, namely russia, china, india, iran. so the, the people of afghanistan will be able, once again, to be able to determine their own future. they will be able to engage with their neighbors in energy transfer, such as pipelines they will be able to they will be able to get involved in trade deals with for example, the chinese belt and road initiative and their neighbor to the south pakistan can you can when you're raising good good plants in for the future, i've got this tom, you know about the mineral wealth for example, and all sorts of different minerals in that country as well. but it's sharing these borders. well. these northern borders now with a southern border of russia and it was breakfast on tajikistan and all these caucasian countries down there. america now is bringing in the big, heavy bombers to have bombing the taliban across the northern region. you
