Afghan security stands guard at check point in Herat, Afghanistan.
Afghan government forces struggled against Taliban assaults on several major cities Sunday as the
insurgents stepped up a nationwide offensive that saw a key airport in the south come under rocket fire overnight. Hundreds of commandos were deployed to the western
city of Herat while authorities in the southern
city of Lashkar Gah called for more troops to rein in the assaults.
Fighting has surged across the country since early May when US-led foreign forces began a final withdrawal from
Afghanistan that is now almost complete.
After seizing large tracts of rural territory and capturing key border crossings, the Taliban have started assaulting provincial capitals with grueling onslaughts.
Flights out of Kandahar, Afghanistan's second-largest city and the former stronghold for the insurgents, were halted after rockets struck the airport before dawn. Airport chief Massoud Pashtun said
two rockets had hit the runway and repairs were under way with planes likely to resume service later on Sunday. The facility is vital to maintaining the logistics and air support needed to keep the Taliban from overrunning the city, while also providing aerial cover for large tracts of southern Afghanistan.
The attack came as the Taliban inched closer to overwhelming at least two other provincial capitals, including nearby Lashkar Gah in Helmand province.
Comment: Macron is demonstrably wrong, because Israel achieved one of the highest vaccination rates on the planet only to discover that, even according to the official statistics, Pfizer's experimental drug was just 39% effective in preventing infection, and health officials from the UK and Australia have admitted that the majority of those hospitalized were vaccinated. Surely the President of France and his supposedly expert advisors are aware of this data?
Whilst being unaware of the most up to date science would be concerning, it should be even more alarming, and telling, that, despite knowing the injections do not work as has been claimed, they still want to coerce the public into accepting the vaccines and the draconian vaccination passes. That their reasoning does not reflect reality shows that some people in positions of power are hystericized and incapable of logical thought, whilst it's also becoming difficult to deny that there are others pursuing another agenda, nefarious in nature, that has little to do with the official, nonsensical, narrative:
- The Inanity of RNA Vaccines For COVID-19
- The real B3W-NATO agenda
