Peter Apps, Reuters: The new face of Afghanistan’s war

On the streets of the city of Ghazni this week, Afghan troops and Taliban fighters battled for the future of Afghanistan.

It was a savage fight. Several hundred Taliban insurgents attacked the town on Friday, and at the height of the battle they dominated the city, pushing back Afghan security forces to only a few key strongpoints while residents cowered in their homes. The Taliban said Wednesday it was pulling back its fighters from the city, but the government said an attack on an army base nearby killed at least 44 police and soldiers.

Should the Taliban have captured Ghazni, it would have been the first major urban victory since a short-lived 2015 takeover of Kunduz. Instead, they demonstrated once again their limitations. The insurgents remain adept at savage, one-off attacks, grabbing headlines and continuing to seize control of rural areas – this week they overrun several countryside districts in the broader Ghazni Province.

WNU Editor: When I started this blog ten years ago I had a daily post devoted exclusively to the Afghan war. After a few years there was no longer any need to have a post on Afghanistan .... the war had subsided .... and that daily post was terminiated. Sadly .... Afghanistan War News Updates is returning. The war in that country is now as bad as it has ever been.
