It's well.

As per local news agencies, Afghanistan President Asraf Ghani has officially resigned from his post amid the Taliban takeover. At the same time, the militant group Taliban has taken control of all of Afghanistan including all military power. Ashraf Ghani is headed now to Tajikistan to take refuge for now and will head to another country from there on, added sources.

This is the kind of demon we are playing with by rehabilitating jihadist.

These jihadist have the same mindset everywhere, to conquer, to them everything is about conquest, their religion supports their ideology.

He was always going to either flee or be killed. Too many Taliban sympathizers in his government. Even the military refused to confront the militants and allow them free rain to take over the country. Too bad!

The idiot leaders merely created a salary collecting civil service and named it the military.
No loyalty, no pride, nothing.
Most soldiers are just abandoning their guns and fleeing.

What's the difference between taliban and Boko Haram? Were they not the ones that haboured osama bin laden for years and helped him plan the September 11 attacks? You are the one that is not ok, it's obvious you are a terrorist sympathizer and there's something seriously wrong with your head.

A new dawn in Afghanistan. I foresee the Taliban overrunning Pakistan and taking over government in few years from now. Pakistan will regret petting the tiger, and will have no ally to run to for help.

For the United States, they are already paying for their sins by arming the Talibans against the Russians in the 1980’s. Of course, it's obvious that British failed Colonial interest against the Pashtun tribesmen made America delve into Afghan wahala by trying to reclaim her from the Russians, but ignorantly not understanding the history of the lands of valleys and hills contributed to what Americans are paying for today. $1 Trillion gone down to drain trying to make Afghanistan a modern and democratic society.

Below are the sins of America
1. Trying to stop the Opium trade. Forgetting that the average Afghan are drug addicts and largely depend on the farm of poppy’s to survive. It's like taking Garri from the diet of the average Nigerian. Opium provides income to many Afghans and stopping it made lot of them seek refuge to the Taliban.

2. Trying to enforce western democracy on Afghanistan. Afghans are used to Islamic jurisprudence and see democracy as alien.

3. Trying to build a central government. The average Afghan is fist loyal to their tribe before the government. In the past, Afghanistan used to be characterized with Chiefdoms and Warlords controlling their territories, but the Taliban rule was the first to unite the control into one central government.

4. The formation of the Army and Police. Both the military and cops were corrupts and we're oy after their pockets and not willing to serve their country.

5. Inability of the new Afghan Government to protect civilians. The Afghan government was not oy corrupt but weak. Her inability to stamp her foot and provide safety on her populace accounted for mass murder of civilians from the conflict between the Talibans. Due to fear of being killed, many civilians and town surrendered themselves to Taliban rulers. It's similar the tactics of Boko-Haram in the NE and recently IPOB in the SE.

The Taliban should thank Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan and her Jihadist fightets for providing them moral and financial support. The Taliban now controls modern western weaponry and won't rest on her oars until she becomes the new regional power, spreading her ideology to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Iran, Pakistan and China. India is the only opposition to such support and I doubt will be unable to contain the terror attacks against her when the Taliban finally assumes leadership of Pakistan.

America has learnt her bitter lesson, same way she learnt the hard way in Vietnam. Mind your business and stop the overbearing attitude of policing the world. American selfish interest in the middle-east, Africa, Asia and South America has always led to political instability and conflict in those areas. Until America stop seeing herself as the post-world war 2 emperor of the world, she’ll always be at the receiving ends of anti-American uprisings.

Nigeria should do everything it could to decimate the terrorists holding territories in Borno and other parts of the North.

The speed with which Afghanistan territories fall to the Talibans clearly shows that the military is heavily compromised.

The greater enemy is the one within and I fear for the loyalty of some of our gallant men, otherwise the insurgency in the North shouldn't have lasted this long.

You don't know that.
Most people don't care about either side, they just want to stay alive and care for their family.
And this isn't peculiar to Afghanistan.
