The US Embassy in Kabul recently chastised the Taliban after receiving reports of the Taliban killing Afghan military personnel who had surrendered.
According to recent media reports, the Taliban on Thursday is gaining ground in Afghanistan by capturing many important cities in the country and forcing women to get married to the insurgents.
In the recently captured areas, the country's citizens are witnessing the execution of captured soldiers and unprovoked attacks on civilians by the insurgents.
As per reports, the Taliban has requested that towns convert unmarried women into "wives" for its terrorists, which is a kind of sexual abuse.
Pledging to be magnanimous in victory, the Taliban assured government officials, troops and the people of Afghanistan that they have nothing to fear as ever-larger swaths of the country fall under their control. However, their actions show otherwise.

— U.S. Embassy Kabul (@USEmbassyKabul)The Taliban’s statements in Doha do not resemble their actions in Badakhshan, Ghazni, Helmand & Kandahar. Attempts to monopolize power through violence, fear, & war will only lead to international isolation.

So far, the terror organisation has taken control of 12 provincial capitals across the country.
The terror organisation is fighting with Afghan government forces in a bid to take major towns and seize control shortly after US soldiers leave Afghanistan under a peace agreement reached between the Taliban and Washington.
