Thousands flee as ISIL and Taliban fight for Kunar province

Afghan Special Forces, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) and the Taliban are preparing for a three-way battle in eastern Afghanistan.

ISIL started an offensive against the Taliban two weeks ago in Kunar province – a fight that has displaced more than 20,000 people.

Now the Afghan government says it is getting involved.
