Ok, here goes. I feel as if I am talking to myself, but I will continue. Taleban is back in control.


THE Taliban is back in control of "vast swathes" of Afghanistan and its influence is growing fast, an influential think-tank warned today.

Despite the massive international financial and military effort, insurgents have established a permanent presence in more than half of the troubled country.

The situation is so bad that it is a question of "when not if" the Taliban will reappear in Kabul, and there is a "serious" danger they could regain control of the state.

The damning assessment comes in a report by the Senlis Council, one of the few research groups with a base in Afghanistan.

The think-tank warned that the security situation has reached "crisis proportions" and the Taliban's resurgence across the state has been "proven beyond doubt".
