A timeline of the Taliban’s devastating advance across Afghanistan

The Taliban has entered Afghanistan’s capital Kabul after taking control of all of the country’s other major cities.

Fighters moved into the outskirts on Sunday and said they were awaiting a "peaceful transfer" of the town after promising not to take it by force.

The speed of the insurgents’ advance across the country has horrified the world, as the Afghan government struggles desperately to retain its grip on power.
