The Taliban’s Advance

The Taliban have made big moves in the last few days in their bid to take control of Afghanistan.

This weekend, they seized several cities and suddenly claimed a lot of the north. On Monday, they took another provincial capital.

What is the Taliban’s strategy, what will the United States do, and where does this leave the Afghan government?

Guest: Carlotta Gall, the Istanbul bureau chief for The New York Times. She previously reported from Afghanistan and Pakistan from 2001 to 2011.
