Sources from Taliban: The Movement Controls All Regions of Afghanistan

Reuters, a news agency, quoted three Taliban (an Afghani Islamist militant movement) sources as saying that the movement succeeded in seizing all parts of Afghanistan after defeating the northern rebels.

One of the movement's leaders told the agency that they thank God, as they are in control of the whole of Afghanistan.

The rioters and Panjshir have now been defeated under our leadership."

The movement announced its control of the second largest area in the state of Panjshir, the last stronghold of the northern rebels in the country.

Earlier today, Taliban spokesman Hanafi Wardak stated on his Twitter account that "the large and strategic Brian district of Panjshir has been completely cleared of criminal formations.

However, media reports were talking about the failure of the "Taliban" attempt to storm Panjshir last night and incurred tangible losses.

On the other hand, the United Nations warned of the approaching severe food crisis in Afghanistan because food stocks there may run out as soon as this month.

Ramiz Alakbarov, Deputy Special Representative and Humanitarian Coordinator for Afghanistan, said that more than half of children under the age of five suffer from severe malnutrition, and more than a third of the population does not get enough food.

"Alakbarov stressed that it is very important that the international community should do its best to prevent Afghanistan from slipping into another humanitarian catastrophe, by taking the necessary steps to provide the basic materials that this country needs now, and support food, health, protection, and non-food services to those who need them most.

He added that the stock of the United Nations World Food Program in Afghanistan will run out by the end of September, in the absence of $200 million in emergency funding."

"More than half of Afghanistan's population relies on foreign aid to meet their daily needs," the United Nations said, "Local food stocks have already been seriously depleted, due to the drought affecting supplies of vital crops such as wheat."
