Two years ago on this day, August 13, 2021, the provinces of Badghis, Ghor, Kandahar, Helmand, Zabul, and Uruzgan fell under the Taliban’s control and the country was a mere two days away from the fall of the republic government.
Until August 13, 2021, the Taliban had dominance over 17 provinces, which meant the former government had lost control over all provinces in the southern and western regions.
