WARNING INTENSE FOOTAGE: A convoy of Afghan special forces come under fire from Taliban militants while on a mission to rescue a stranded police officer. There were no reports of deaths or injuries among the soldiers and the officer was rescued.

The Associated Press

In the last 15 days, Taliban advances have driven more than 5,600 families from their homes, most of them in the northern reaches of the country, according to the government’s Refugee and Repatriations Ministry. Yaqub Maradi fled his village of Sang Shanda, not far from Abdulgan, when the Taliban arrived. He said they tried to intimidate villagers into staying. Maradi’s brother and several members of his family were arrested, “held hostage to stop them from leaving,” he said.

The Taliban are attending international conferences, even sending their ex-ministers on missions to Afghanistan from Qatar, where they have a political office, to assure Afghans they have nothing to fear from them, especially minorities. The group still espouses Islamic rule but says its methods and tenets are less severe.

The Taliban blame the Afghan government for foiling efforts to jumpstart stalled talks that would elevate discussions to include leaders on both sides of the conflict.

The cost of the Afghanistan war, in lives and dollarsAFGHANISTAN AFTER NEARLY 20 YEARS OF U.S. OCCUPATION: Percentage drop in infant mortality rate since U.S., Afghan and other allied forces overthrew the Taliban government, which had sought to restrict women and girls to the home: About 50. Percentage of Afghan teen-age girls able to read today: 37. Percentage of Afghanistan districts and district centers that the Taliban says it controls as Western forces withdraw: More than one out of three. An illegal war spanning two decades that murdered innocent human beings, all in the name of oil, greed, and strategic military dominance of the region.
