Overall: 
Article is new enough, long enough and looks neutral and sourced. qpq is not needed, no copyvio detected either. The hooks are cited and interesting, but I do have a concern about ALT1. The hook says that "the Northern Alliance committed to stopping their advance before Kabul" but the article seems to indicate that the alliance was noncommittal about whether they would or wouldn't enter the city. The information in the hook should match the information in the article so it might be better to go with ALT0. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:01, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
