The top U.S. general in Afghanistan relinquished command Monday at an official ceremony in the capital, the latest symbolic gesture bringing America's longest war nearer to its end.

At a time when the Taliban are making sweeping advances across the country, General Austin Scott Miller, the highest-ranked officer on the ground in Afghanistan, handed command to General Kenneth McKenzie, an AFP correspondent at the ceremony reported.
