After the Taliban takeover of Kabul in 2021, Britain pledged sanctuary to Afghans who faced reprisals for working with UK forces – but thousands are still waiting. Now, as Britain drags its heels, we have verified the killings of more than 100 ex-Afghan forces in the country since 2023 – with one executed in front of his children.

In response to the latest round of Pakistani attacks inside Afghanistan, the Taliban said they killed several Pakistani soldiers and captured their posts and weapons, including tanks. They paraded those purported captured tanks in Afghan streets as well.

Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have released British couple Peter and Barbie Reynolds, who were held for almost eight months without charge.

After the latest round of clashes with Pakistan, the Taliban said they captured several Pakistan posts and equipment, including tanks. They released a video showing a tank being driven on the road — apparently the same tank they purportedly captured.

The Taliban claimed to have captured Pakistani tanks after clashes along the border, alleging Pakistani forces attacked the Spin Boldak district, killing civilians. In retaliation, the Taliban stated they killed Pakistani soldiers and seized their posts and weapons.

Afghanistan's Taliban rulers blocked internet access nationally for two days without any explanation, but suddenly, the country is coming back online.

The Taliban responded with contradictory stances in the effort to rescue women and girls who were wounded and left homeless. That's a reflection of tensions between hardliners and pragmatists.
