Kabul: America’s departure from Afghanistan continues. If you estimate, America has been fighting in Afghanistan for 20 years. He spent more than Rs 149 lakh crore on military campaign. Thousands of his soldiers were killed. Also thousands of Afghans died.
Experts say that even after such a long campaign, America’s bag is empty. In the midst of changing developments, the dreaded Taliban fighters are returning to Afghanistan. They have captured almost half the country. The newspaper Wall Street Journal quoted intelligence agencies as saying that Afghanistan’s Ghani government would fall within six months.
Al Qaeda no longer has influence in the country
However, Al Qaeda, which carried out the 9/11 attacks on America, no longer has influence in the country. However, several other anti-US terrorist groups, including a branch of the Islamic State, are active in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, there is news that talks are going on on a peace deal between the Taliban and the pro-US government.
It is being said that under pressure from friends like Pakistan, the Taliban will agree to the power-sharing agreement. But the probability of this is being told very less. According to experts, the Taliban will insist on implementing the old fanatical and ruthless methods of their former regime. The Taliban is more likely to topple the government by force than a deal. He will adopt a policy of tightening the screws gradually. This will lead to an extension of civil war in the country.
Chances have been expressed that China, India, Russia and Pakistan will try to fill the gap left by the US. Some countries will give money and weapons to military groups with whom they have friendly relations.
Government likely to fall in six months
The influence of the Taliban continues to grow. On the other hand, President Ashraf Ghani is engaged in uniting private military groups. The army can get a chance to recover with the activation of the fighting groups. The Taliban is not seriously discussing with the Ashraf Ghani government because of the weakening of the Afghan army.
It is reported that Taliban fighters had reached near Mazar-e-Sharif last week. Taliban control many districts of Balkh province. Anti-Taliban commander Ata Mohammad Noor in Balkh said. Whatever happens, we will defend our cities. But until now the Taliban have not occupied major cities. He wants to exert pressure on the cities by increasing influence in the rural areas. The Taliban do not have enough means to capture major cities and run their rule.
The commanders have left the Afghan soldiers on their own.
The US and NATO countries had spent billions of rupees on the training and weapons of Afghan security forces in the hope that one day they would be able to stand on their own feet, but they started leaving the field before America left. Afghan soldiers say that the commanders have left them on their own. They do not get salary. There is a need to eat and drink. The ammunition is over. Let us tell you that many people want to leave the country due to the fear of the terrorist regime of Taliban.
