Afghan Military Collapses Five Weeks After Biden Said He Trusted It

Afghan Military Collapses Five Weeks After Biden Said He Trusted It: The Afghanistan military and government fell to the Taliban on Sunday after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country and insurgent forces entered the capital city of Kabul. The development occurred just five weeks after U.S. President Joe Biden said he "trusted" the Afghan military to withstand such an invasion. The Taliban entered Kabul early Sunday after seizing power across the country in just a little over a week. The capital city marked the last major government stronghold, but as forces honed in on the area, the nation's president joined a stampede of civilians and foreigners in fleeing the country. According to the Associated Press, the Taliban will soon announce the renaming of the country to the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the presidential palace.
