Taliban to declare ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’ soon – report:

The Taliban, who have rampaged across Afghanistan in recent days and earlier today entered the capital, Kabul, are on the verge of declaring that they have taken control of the country and that it is now the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, according to Press Association reports citing a Taliban official.

The declaration is expected to be made from the presidential palace in Kabul following the departure of Afghanistan’s president, Ashraf Ghani, earlier, who apparently fled, initially to Tajikistan. His current location is unconfirmed.

Senior Taliban commanders announced within the last two hours that they had taken control of the palace, according to news wire reports. More details and further confirmation are awaited.

Taliban are in Kabul

It is time for Bidet to put a stop to this--a statement has been prepared for him:

The Taliban must withdraw from Afghanistan now because they did not play by the rules.

They failed to give preferential treatment to people of color and people with non-binary sexual preferences.

They failed to require mandatory vaccines of their troops.

More importantly, they have closed their borders to migrants.

Therefore I call on them to surrender immediately!

Now one of the most evil political forces the world has ever seen is back in charge of the government from which we rousted them 20 years ago.
