In April of 2021, President Joe Biden announced that U.S. military forces would leave Afghanistan by September 1st. Since that announcement, the Taliban took advantage of it. They continued their offensive towards the capital, first threatening government-controlled urban areas, then seizing several border crossings, ending in direct assaults. On August 6, the Taliban captured the first provincial capital. Eleven days after, Kabul fell in its power. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani left the country while the Taliban entered the presidential palace.
