Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Affairs said that all its personnel in its diplomatic mission in Kabul had arrived home safely.

On Sunday, Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan, fell to Taliban forces in the culmination of a military offensive that began in May against the Afghan government. The capture took place hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

Most of the provincial capitals of Afghanistan had fallen one after the other in the midst of a U.S. troop withdrawal that was to be completed by the end of August.

Tense negotiations are ongoing between a Taliban delegation and Afghan officials, although it appears unlikely that they will end in anything less than an unconditional surrender by the government.

A peaceful transfer of power has been requested by the Taliban, and the government has declared its willingness to abide. However, the government has requested that power be transferred to a transitional government, while the Taliban desires a complete transfer of power.
