Afghan conflict: Taliban take Mazar-e-Sharif

Taliban fighters have captured Mazar-e-Sharif, the last major city in northern Afghanistan which was still under government control. The Taliban are now in control of more than half of the provincial capitals in the country. The only major cities to remain under government control are Kabul and Jalalabad.
