Hopefully the place can be fully populated by the talaban.

Then NUKE the place into glass.

TALIBAN CITY UNDER SIEGE
KANDAHAR: The Taliban have massed on the outskirts of Kandahar in preparation for an all-out assault to recapture a city that was once the Islamist movement’s capital.

The militants have infiltrated the suburbs of Afghanistan’s second city, with heavy fighting reported in southern and western neighbourhoods.

“Fighting has intensified, the Taliban are so close and the situation is so bad,” Abduljalil Amin, head of the local peace and development committee, said. “The Taliban front line is strong. Last night (Thursday local time) there were seven air strikes to push them back. There is no Eid celebration here. People are fleeing to other provinces, but many are trapped in their homes and lack access to food and water.”

Local reports suggest the militants have already sent a wave of more than 20 suicide bombers into Kandahar that was repelled by Afghan forces.

With reinforcements said to be arriving on the outskirts, a renewed assault is expected within days.

The US said it had launched several air strikes in support of Afghan government troops, including in the province of Kandahar, in the first known operations since General Scott Miller relinquished his command of US forces and left the country last week.

Afghan commandos have also arrived to shore up Kandahar’s defences. Crucially, the government still holds the airport, allowing it to target Taliban fighters on the ground. Once dug into builtup areas, however, the insurgents will be tougher to dislodge without house-tohouse fighting.

The encircling of Kandahar comes amid a lightning advance by the Taliban that has enabled them to lay siege to at least 10 cities across Afghanistan over the past month as the US completes its withdrawal from the country.

As the birthplace of the Islamist movement, Kandahar is prized above all except Kabul itself, and defeat there would deal a hammer blow to the Afghan government.

The insurgents seized the border crossing into Pakistan at Spin Boldak, south-east of Kandahar, last week, cutting off a vital supply line to the city. Many of Kandahar’s 600,000 residents have already fled, with services breaking down as the fighting edges closer.

Senior Afghan officials acknowledged that Kandahar would represent a serious loss for the government.

The insurgents are yet to capture and hold a big city. The northern city of Kunduz was overrun in 2015 and again the following year, but it was retaken both times by Afghan troops, backed by US and British special forces.

“We’d see that as significant,” a senior source said of the potential loss of Kandahar.

“It would give the Taliban not just geography in a territory but some legitimacy inside Afghanistan.”

Beyond its strategic importance, Kandahar holds deep symbolic significance for the Taliban. Kandahar province was the birthplace of the Islamist movement as it emerged from the Afghan civil war that followed the Soviet withdrawal in 1989.

Led by the one-eyed cleric Mullah Muhammad Omar, the group seized Kandahar in 1994, imposing its brand of brutal Islamic justice.

Underscoring his power, Omar was presented with Kandahar’s most celebrated religious relic, a cloak believed to have been worn by the Prophet Muhammad.

He wore it at a gathering of clerics in the city in 1996, and was declared leader of the faithful, a title claimed by only the most powerful figures in Islamic history.

Within months, the Taliban had swept north and seized Kabul. The same year, Omar offered Osama bin Laden shelter in Kandahar, and the province remained a stronghold for al-Qaeda until the US invasion in 2001.

Kandahar and the neighbouring province of Helmand proved to be a hotbed of the Taliban insurgency in the 20-year conflict that followed.

When NATO forces ended combat operations in late 2014 the insurgents swept back from these southern strongholds, capturing swaths of the countryside.

With the US now dashing for the exit in Afghanistan, the Taliban advance has accelerated as government forces buckle and retreat to the cities.

The speed and scale of the Afghan military’s collapse has prompted a recalibration on the battlefield: instead of trying to defend remote districts, it is focusing its efforts on securing strategic locations.

Commanders believe the Taliban are also planning an assault on the eastern city of Ghazni, which is also a place of Islamic significance.

Just another "Vietnam" isn't it? We've said it all along ... but idiot politicians think they know best. Only Trump knew what was really going on in Afghanistan - socialist elite regime change that wasn't going to work. Now Biden has realized that Trump was right and is now following his lead

Still recon they should simply turn that basket case of Satan's worshipers into a bowl of radioactive glass.

You have a career as a bridge guard, Matty. It is what all trolls were meant to do. Don't throw it away on social discourse. Tsk, tsk. ::) ::)

The sad truth of islam.

From the day they are born, children are indoctrinated into believing that Allah is the one true god and that everyone else are pagans and must be murdered because they dont believe.

Daily rituals of bowing and mind numbing mantras to their god reinforce that belief continually.

Anyone, ANYONE who dares to question ANYTHING about this cult are either tortured or killed, along with their families.
Leaving the cult is forbidden and brings death to them and their family members.

There is no open discussion, only pure enforced pilgrimage to this god who promotes murder, rape and torture of infidels (non-believers)

Now, all this is done for what?
All the hardships, murder, torture and poverty in this life is for one reason.
They sacrifice their wealth, pleasure, joy and life for a mythical afterlife.
To be given a wondrous afterlife with 40 virgins (what about the women, do they get virgins for their sacrifices?)

How many have actually seen this afterlife?
How many have come back to extol the virtues of this life after death?

So, they are murdering, torturing and punishing people for what?
A dream some sociopath, lying, murderer, self confessed pedophile told them so?

Think about this.
This cowardly prophet RAN AWAY AND HID UNDER HIS BED when his enemies were after him.
He then later, probably in an attempt to hide his cowardly sins, went and destroyed those who kept him safe...Nice guy
Then he tell about the flying donkeys, watching the sun set into a muddy hole and numerous other lies.
The best yet is that he outsmarted the devil..........You have to be kidding.

He rapes some pre-pubescent girls and boasts about it.
Comes up with his only solution to everything (beheading) and sets about forming a cult of death and destruction.

And this is who the followers of islam believe that murder, rape and destruction will take them into an afterlife of joy and heaven?

Seriously???????

You would have to be a total nutcase to believe this liar and follow his doctrines.

ISLAM, THE CULT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
