The Taliban claim to have seized the Sang-e-Atash district of Afghanistan’s north-western Badghis province. A Taliban spokesperson said, more than a hundred government soldiers have also surrendered.
In the six weeks since the May 1 deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan, the Taliban has seized control of 32 additional districts, their reach spanning half of the country's 34 provinces.
Taliban fighters took control of a key district in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province Monday and encircled the provincial capital, police said, as the insurgent group added to its recent battlefield victories while peace talks have stalemated.
Some good news for Afghan government.
20 terrorist Taliban were arrested in Kunduz.
Twenty terrorist Taliban who were trying to enter Kunduz from Wardak Square were detained by ANA forces at the Kunduz Gate.
These terrorists intended to enter Kunduz with the aim of fighting and plundering the property of the people of Kunduz.
The Iranian government is not exactly the greatest Taleban fan club. However, the Talibs have struck a tacit agreement with Iran to not get bothered while operating in the Afghan border provinces. The reason is that Iran wants peace and order right across the border and when the Afghan government cannot provide for it, the Taleban are the next best option. Moreover, the two of them have common enemies: ISIS and the United States. Allegedly this went as far as Iran providing weapons to the Taleban so they could counter IS.
The Taliban published footage of one of their detachments reaching the bridge over the Amu Darya on the border with Tajikistan. They say: "... soon we will go to Tajikistan."

Seems they didn´t learn nothing from the Tadjik Civil War, Chechnya or Syria.... As soon RF get involved they will find an enemy that is going to fight without restrictions.
