Background:
Dihrawud district is of key importance. It controls vital North-South and East-West routes in Uruzgan. And it borders on Helmand, the province where Taliban fighters find themselves under increased pressure from mainly British NATO troops. The district also has a strong symbolic value. It was here that Hamid Karzai (pictured) began his march on Kandahar city in late 2001, his first steps on the path to the presidency. It's also here that the supreme leader of the Taliban, Mullah Omar, had strong family ties before most of his relatives had to leave.

The Taliban captured the Dihrawod district of central Uruzgan province after two months of fighting, an official said on Friday, November 13, 2020. District Police Chief Jan Mohammad Karimi said the Taliban captured district.
 

The Taliban overran the district administrative office, the bazaar and police headquarters following a protracted firefight with security forces last night (20201211). Local security forces had retreated to the army camp, abandoning government buildings. The Taliban, who previously captured the district last month before being driven by security forces a few days ago, have said nothing about recapturing the district. (20201212) Security sources said at least 23 Afghan National Army soldiers including Battalion and unit commanders and a special forces commander have been killed in clashes that led to the fall of Dehraud district in Uruzgan province to the Taliban.(20201216)
