After the withdrawal of US troops, the world’s powerful countries are beginning to execute strategies suited to their interests, amid growing concerns about the future of Afghanistan. For decades, the people of Afghanistan have been yearning for peace and development, within two months the American troops will be withdrawn. The US has made it clear that it will hand over Afghanistan to its government and military.
US President Joe Biden has clearly said that Afghanistan’s three-lakh force will prove to be overwhelming over 75,000 Taliban fighters. Biden has tried to allay the fears that there are about the situation after the withdrawal of American troops. But within 24 hours of Biden’s statement, Taliban spokesman Shahabuddin Dilawar, who visited Russia, is shocked by saying that if the Taliban wants today, they will occupy Afghanistan in 15 days. Dilawar also did not forget to say that the Taliban has captured 75 percent of Afghanistan. Concerns about the future of Ashraf Ghani’s elected government are growing at the speed with which the Taliban is taking control of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Minister of India, who was on a visit to Russia, has also described the peace of Afghanistan as necessary for regional peace. With the Foreign Minister of Russia, Jaishankar has discussed in detail the role of both the countries regarding the future of Afghanistan. India is concerned about its role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. Pakistan and China are also ready to increase their role in Afghanistan. Despite the withdrawal of the US military, competition in many countries of the world regarding Afghanistan is clearly visible.
America is definitely withdrawing its army, but for its own interests, it wants a government in Afghanistan that is its supporter. America’s harsh voice about China’s growing power is loud. America is concerned about any effective role of China in Afghanistan.
The Taliban has made it clear that it wants a bigger role for China in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. China also considers Afghanistan necessary for the Belt and Road Initiative, a modern project of the old Silk Road. There has been an atmosphere of war in Afghanistan against Soviet forces for 20 years and against US forces for 20 years. The Soviet army had to go back, now the US army is also going back. The US Army invaded Afghanistan after nine and eleven
There was success in overthrowing the Taliban, but the Taliban could not be eliminated. Despite peace talks between the US and the Taliban, the picture of Afghanistan’s political future remains unclear. The speed with which the Taliban is increasing its power has raised concerns about the future of the Ghani government. Thousands of Afghan soldiers have taken refuge in Tajikistan. There is also uneasiness among Afghan women about the growing power of the Taliban. The armed demonstration of women only reflects their apprehension about freedom. All the rights of women were taken away under the Taliban. His reading and writing were also banned. So will the Taliban change this old policy? This rarely happens.
Many questions have also arisen regarding democracy, elections and modernity in Afghanistan. It cannot be said that the Taliban will adopt a new approach on these questions. So will Afghanistan turn towards a new unrest? This question also cannot be ignored. The world media is also silent about the circumstances in which Afghanistan has left the two strongest armies of the world, Soviet and American army. The concerns of the people of Afghanistan are also about the future of democracy. To which there is no concrete and clear answer.
