WASHINGTON: The former US special representative for Zalmay Afghanistan Khalilzad must be responsible for a defective peace agreement with the Taliban and US withdrawals that are both disasters from a torn country.
Khalilzad was assigned by Trump’s administration to seal the peace agreement between the Chosen Afghan and Taliban governments, as a natural choice with him born in Afghanistan as an ethnic Pashtun who was very aware of the fault line of Afghan culture, reported Interzin.
The two tasks assigned to him are to secure a peace agreement with the Taliban and to ensure the withdrawal of the order of US troops from the country.
Considered Chameleon in diplomacy, Khalilzad has adopted US administration that has been served by a certain time, therefore adapting to the situation that often causes inconsistencies in policy recommendations for Afghanistan, according to online magazines.
Apart from such inconsistencies, there is no public supervision of its long history in Afghanistan and what is the reason behind the Afghans consider it problematic.
Complications Increasingly on February 29, 2020, when Khalilzad signed a peace agreement with the Taliban Co-Founder Mullah Baradar in Doha which provides US gradual withdrawal and NATO forces.
The Taliban has convinced to comply with a complete ceasefire other than not allowing Afghan land to be used for terrorism and ending its relationship with Al-Qaeda.
However, the Taliban accidentally violated the provisions of the agreement that secretly harmed their relationship with Al-Qaeda and the two groups continued to work together, reported Interzine citing the UN report.
One controversial and consequential aspect includes the demand for Taliban that the Afghan government released hundreds of Taliban prisoners, belonging to Khalilzad who, while admitted that it was a difficult decision, also stating it was needed for “peace desires.” The Taliban is once again expected to oppose the DOHA agreement and the released Taliban members back to the battlefield.
“Based on recent conversations with Afghanistan, including various Taliban factions, and Pakistan, I am sure they will welcome the construction of America.
Taliban do not practice anti-US fundamentalism.
Osama bin Laden’s departure, Saudi.
Investors of various anti-US terrorist groups , from Afghanistan showed several mutual interests between the United States and the Taliban, “said Khalilzad magazine said.
These comments were not carried out in recent years, but as far as October 1996.
Immediately after that, the Taliban stressed their authority in Afghanistan with medieval brutality.
Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda coheda provided support and protection of the Taliban, allowing them to build terrorist infrastructure which, contrary to the assumption of Khalilzad, shows the Taliban does not have the desire to engage significantly with the US, it states.
Only a year before 9/11, Khalilzad stressed the need for confrontation with the Taliban, “evil regime” to prevent them from consolidating power.
Khalilzad became the most influential person in Afghanistan after serving as a special assistant for President George W Bush.
He oversees the 2001 Bonn Conference in Germany as part of a road map for the Post-Taliban Afghanistan preparing the crisis foundation faced by the current country.
He made a US ambassador to Afghanistan.
There are reports that Khalilzad even considered running for Afghan President.
As soon as President Joe Biden announced the date of withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, Khalilzad used optimism for the future of the country under the Taliban.
“The Taliban knows that they need to be accepted as part of Afghan’s future, not to become a pariah,” said the magazine with Khalilzad.
Effectively, Khalilzad finally supported the Taliban when they took Kabul and Ghani escaped from the country, without leaving the opportunity to arrange the distribution of power, according to the magazine.
