Washington: More than a month after the takeover of the Taliban Afghanistan, a new report has revealed that the collapse of Afghan security forces is not sudden.
On the contrary, it is a “slow and painful” solution that began months before the fall of Kabul on August 15.
The role of the United States in Afghanistan has come under the scanner after the takeover of Kabul Taliban, follows an attack that sees the rapid fall of the US-trained Afghan army.
A new report by Washington Post has revealed that the Taliban began his attack in the spring.
When the US withdrawal rate increased, the special Afghan operator was largely transferred under the command of the Defense Ministry.
This shift robbed the strength of the level of independence that has isolated them from corruption with disabled branches of other security forces, a captain told post in anonymity condition.
When clashes increased, some Afghan police personnel at the forefront entered their sixth month without paying.
It was reported that a broad problem was moral and made of government forces and made them vulnerable to the Taliban offer.
In addition to paying, the most trained fighters in the country were assigned to defensive operations when the Taliban pushed closer to the provincial capital.
Without US air support, elite fighter was assigned to carry out a hazardous supply mission that made them vulnerable to the Taliban attack.
“This is not what was trained to do so,” said Lieutenant Abdul Hamid Barakzai from the Afghan command, referring to the drive between the posts.
Barakzai said that commandos were given assignments because they were one of the few units with armored vehicles.
“We know how to defeat the Taliban, but the leadership at the top did not listen,” said a captain in one of the Afghan elite units.
In a clear acceptance of a messy exit from Afghanistan, General Mark Milley, chairman’s head with staff earlier this month said the “collapse” Afghan army, in the face of the Taliban attack, occur at a much faster level.
“The collapse of the Afghan army occurred at a much faster and very unexpected level by everyone,” General Mark Milley told Fox in an interview.
“And then with that is the collapse of the Afghan government.” When the US completed his withdrawal from Afghanistan, General Milley previously said that he had “pain and anger” saw what had happened in a torn country of war for the past 20 years.
He has said that one of the “lessons learned” from US withdrawals from a problematic country is a trap that is realized in Afghan security forces.
