On the battlefield, the Taliban is ratcheting up attacks aimed at overrunning Afghanistan’s battered security forces and seizing vulnerable towns and cities from the government.
On the political front, the Taliban is trying to undercut support for the fragile Afghan government by co-opting disgruntled members of the country s political elite.
Observers say the militant group’s two-pronged strategy is designed to bring down the elected government in Kabul, which the Taliban views as a Western puppet. The militants have ruled out joining the current political system in any peace deal.
