America has started its plan to totally flee Afghanistan as it starts deploying troops around Kabul to evacuate its Embassies.

As of Thursday, the militant group which is wanting to impose Islamist law in the region has seized the two largest cities after the Capital of Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat.

The Taliban also took control over the provincial capital Ghazni City of Ghazni province. The capture seems strategic part of encircling and capturing the city of Kabul as the capture cuts off a crucial highway linking the Afghan capital with the country's southern provinces.

The United States has announced it will be sending 3000 troops for the US Embassy officials to flee the country. 

Also, the UK has said, it will be deploying 600 troops on a short-term basis to help the British Embassy personnel evacuate the country.
