Taliban have started entering Kabul from all sides - Afghan interior ministry
Three Afghan officials have also confirmed Taliban militants have entered the outskirts of the city.
Kabul is the last major city that has not yet fallen to the Taliban.
Taliban orders its fighters to refrain from violence in Kabul
A Taliban leader in Doha has told fighters not to create violent scenes in the capital and allow safe passage to anyone who chooses to exit, according to Reuters news agency.
Kabul airport remains the only route out of Afghanistan.
However, women have also been told to move to protected areas - which seems in contradiction with orders to move in peacefully.

Careers open to Afghan refugees:
1. Teaching conversational Pashtun in their new homes. There will be plenty of demand for this, since the Taliban will soon make Kabul into a central Asian Tokyo, opening factories, law firms and marketing offices all over the world.
2. Buzkashi coaches, teaching the finer points of dragging a beheaded calf’s carcass across the finish line while killing and maiming all who get in your way.
3. Afghan cuisine chefs, teaching the western world to appreciate fire roasted lamb and goat kid, goat cheeses, and teas made with odd flavors and ingredients that they will not disclose.
4. Gunsmiths who can work with just a file and a hand-operated lathe to fashion homemade AK-47 out of materials found in a junkyard.
Half the country would be happy with this. Which half? That depends on who is president at the time of the invasion.
Not the Wolverines.
Do you think the Wolverines are going to fight for BLM, CRT, the CDC, and transgendering children? They might sit back and think, "At least if the Russians take over, those damn gay pride flags will come down."
And I'd pay to watch how a Chinese police force handles Antifa in Portland.
CNN has a fluff piece about cities the Taliban have captured. They describe it as “everything back to normal, people milling about, opening their shops, women wearing burkas.”
They fail to mention the brutalization of AFghan citizens by the taliban.
I don’t really care about the Taliban anymore. Not my circus, not my monkeys. It’s the Afghans problem.
“I respect respect the Afghans. Tough people.”
Apparently all the tough ones are in the Taliban.
The Bible tells us to flee fornication too but there is a whole lot of that going on as well. Even He can’t control “flee” and “refrain”. I doubt the taliban “leader” in Doha will do any better.
To be honest, I think they were all Taliban and just pretending and watching the clock
“If the 90 days to 72 hours shift took our IC by surprise, then we literally have no idea.”
No way IC was surprised. This was entirely planned to allow al Qaeda to take Afghanistan.
US has a long history of gifting military hardware
