United Nations, Aug 13 (UNI/Sputnik) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday the situation in Afghanistan is spinning out of control as the Taliban (banned in Russia) accelerates its offensive toward the capital of Kabul.
“Afghanistan is in the throes of yet another chaotic and desperate chapter – an incredible tragedy for its long-suffering people,” Guterres said in a statement. “Afghanistan is spinning out of control.

Canada offers to resettle 20,000 vulnerable Afghan nationals in  their country.

Canada will resettle up to 20,000 vulnerable Afghan nationals including female activists and journalists as the Taliban terror group (banned in Russia) advances in its bid to reclaim control of the war-torn country, Ottawa announced.
“Canada will build on our earlier special immigration program to welcome over 20,000 vulnerable Afghan refugees, in total,” Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said during a press briefing on Friday.
Last week, Ottawa announced that it would resettle “thousands” of Afghans through special immigrant programs designed for those who assisted Canadian military efforts in Afghanistan, in particular, interpreters, who the Taliban views as traitors and have vowed vengeance against.
According to Sajjan, the Canadian government requested the military’s help with the resettlement operation on July 30.
