Taliban gains ground in Afghanistan, many Afghans displaced

The Taliban has taken control of dozens of districts and cities since the U.S.-led international withdrawal on May 1, including 9 provincial capitals in the last few days. The areas under government control are shrinking as tens of thousands ready to flee the growing conflict.
