Kabul: General of the US Puncak in Afghanistan on Tuesday gave a serious assessment of the country’s security situation that deteriorated because America ended what was called “War forever.” General Austin S.
Miller said loss of districts throughout the country to the Taliban – several with significant strategic values ​​- worrying.
He also warned that the militia was deployed to help the surrounding national security forces to lead the country into a civil war.
Miller told a small group of journalists in the capital of Afghanistan that for now he has weapons and the ability to help Afghan national defense and security forces.
“What I don’t want to do is speculate like what it is (support) in the future,” he said.
Washington signed a peaceful contract with the Taliban on February 2020.
It sets an appointment A.S.
Withdrawal and commitment by the Taliban to ensure Afghanistan does not store terrorists who can attack the United States.
Details of these commitments have never been published.
The Taliban accused Washington to solve the agreement, which called on all troops to come out on May 1, the date of the final withdrawal began.
US officials said the Taliban had made some progress, but it was not clear whether the rebel group had maintained the end of the agreement.
The rebel group issued orders against allowing foreign fighters among their ranks, but the evidence continued to arise that non-Afghanistan was on the battlefield.
However, Miller insisted that only political solutions would bring peace to the nation tortured by the war.
“This is the political settlement that brings peace to Afghanistan.
And it’s not just the last 20 years.
This is really the last 42 years,” he said.
Miller refers to not only the US war but from the 10-year Russian work which ended in 1989.
The conflict was followed by a brutal civil war fighting for some of the same Afghan leaders as the Taliban.
The Civil War raised the Taliban who took power in 1996.
American officials said that all US troops withdrawals would be completely completed on July 4th but Miller refused to give a date or time frame, referring to September.
, 11 The timeline provided by President Joe Biden in April when he announced the last withdrawal of 2,500-3,500 American troops.
Meanwhile, the Taliban had surpassed districts in rapid succession, many of them in the north of the country, which were dominated by Afghan minorities.
North is also a traditional fortress of many former Mujahedeen leaders who have become the dominant force in Afghanistan since driving a Taliban from power in 2001 along with the US-led coalition.
Some districts have been on the main road and one on the border with North Tajikistan.
The Taliban has published a statement that said hundreds of Afghan security forces had surrendered, most of them went to their homes after being recorded on the video that received transportation money from the Taliban.
Miller said there were several reasons for the collapse of these districts, including the fatigue of the forces and surrender, a psychological defeat and military defeat.
But he said that increased violence placed the country at risk of falling into a deadly civil war.
In the future, Afghan defense forces must focus on consolidating their strength and building strategic areas and protecting them, Miller said.
Losing districts to the Taliban that allowed them to decide on transportation and communication relations threaten the provincial capital.
“When we start talking about how this all ends, the way it must end up for Afghans is something that revolves around political solutions,” he said.
“I also say that if you don’t reduce violence, that political solutions become increasingly difficult.” Miller refused to say where the US and the NATO ally were in the withdrawal process.
He said the time when the US military mission head in Afghanistan would end, without giving a date, even though the press briefing had a feeling of separation.
Miller will not speculate about the legacy of the longest American war, saying it will be history to decide.
“The future will tell the next story,” he said.
“What we have to do is make an honest judgment about what is going well and what doesn’t work well for years when we work forward.”
