US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price is holding a press conference in Washington DC on Monday, August 16. The press conference takes place following the takeover of Afghanistan by Taliban fighters after they entered Kabul on Sunday. President Ashraf Ghani has also fled the country and the US has evacuated all personnel from its embassy. In previous days, the Taliban gained control of two of Afghanistan’s biggest cities, Kandahar and Herat. Mazar-i-Sharif, one of Afghanistan’s economic hubs and the fourth biggest city, fell to the insurgents on Saturday.
