Washington: A group of members of the US Parliament has urged President Joe Biden to ensure that the Taliban, who is now the ruler of the de facto Afghanistan, do not disrupt Pakistan and obtain nuclear weapons.
Parliamentarians demand that Biden must answer important questions about what happened in Afghanistan and what his plan is to move forward.
“Are you ready to support regional allies militarily if the Taliban submit a Afghan border? What are your plans to help ensure that the Taliban does not disrupt Pakistan’s nuclear neighbors?” Group 68 members of parliament from the Senate and the House of Representatives asked the letter aimed at Biden on Wednesday .
“Do you have a plan to ensure that Afghanistan, under the Taliban work, will never get nuclear weapons?” They asked.
Parliamentarians said for the past few weeks, the world witnessed in surprise with the Taliban took over Afghanistan at an amazing speed, “the results of unpending errors were made with a fully interesting trace of our main military forces from Afghanistan, and did not need to delay evacuation US personnel and their Afghan partners “.
The situation in Afghanistan quickly “metastasized” into the Taliban government with the suppression of women and daughters who were restored, repression of civil society, countless transfer of Afghans from their homes which the Taliban then used the power to prevent Afghanistan, and a vacuum of power.
That China seeks to fill by increasing its relationship with the Taliban, they said.
Observing that the consequences of US withdrawal from Afghanistan are not isolated to the country, or even to the Middle East, parliamentarians say the action brings geopolitical and strategic consequences that have begun to be revealed and will echo for decades.
“Dealing with these consequences means that we must take action now to map the course for American strategies, while we manage the direct impact of this crisis caused by this self in Afghanistan.
For this purpose, we write to ask you to describe what your plan is to move America forward, “they wrote.
Noting that the intelligence community has warned that Al Qaeda and Isis-K will be given by Carte Blanche by the Taliban to use Afghanistan as a safe place to be trained and equipped for future terrorist attacks on the US, they ask: “What plans you make sure Al Qaeda doesn’t appear back and get back a foothold in Afghanistan? What is the operation of ‘on the horizon’ that you are ready to use this threat? “The letter questioned that with the Taliban took over Kabul, whether armed groups now have orders and control de facto for former personnel, equipment and Infrastructure for Afghan security forces.
“If so, does this mean that the Taliban has an air force through this de facto control? What is your plan to deactivate any air power operating with orders from the Taliban?” It asks.
Parliamentarians asked Biden about his plan to ensure that more US military equipment and Afghanistan did not end in the hands of the Taliban.
“What are your plans to reclaim US military equipment that have fallen into the hands of the Taliban.” They asked.
