Taliban close to seizing Afghan territories near border with Tajikistan

This fact raises a reasonable question for the Afghan government: what are the agreements between the American representatives and the Taliban if the Taliban militants are activated militarily?
On Sunday, the Taliban group entered the administrative center of Baghlan province, the 80-thousandth city of Puli-Khumri in the north of the country. About 55% of the population of this province are ethnic Tajiks.

Also, Afghan media reported that the Taliban carried out a series of attacks on Afghan security forces in the provinces of Herat, Ghazni and Badakhshan.

In Kabul, meanwhile, it is noted that the activity of the Taliban is probably related to “trying to speak from a position of strength” in negotiations with the United States.
