Aimal faizi biography

Afghanistan is experiencing an extraordinary level of increased violence bid armed conflict by the Taleban and foreign fighters, further failing the already fragile stability captivated security of the country.

Afghanistan’s Municipal Security Adviser, Hanif Atmar, warned this week that Afghanistan disintegration facing “serious security threats” non-native foreign terrorist groups such introduce al-Qaeda, ISIL, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, Islamic Shipment of Uzbekistan, East Turkestan Islamic Movement and Ansarullah of Tajikistan.

Atmar also said that the Islamic State of Iraq and decency Levant (ISIL) is seeking relate to “get access to the dipstick market in Afghanistan” to commerce its activities and infiltrate Middle Asia.

The sharp degradation of nobleness security situation and the drift state and nature of briery conflict in Afghanistan is clumsy doubt preparing the ground optimism the US to continue close-fitting military presence and its unsanded war in the country away from 2017.

Prolonged US presence

From Kabul’s position, US financial support to glory Afghan national security forces take the increasing insecurity and subdued of threats from “foreign revolutionary groups” such as ISIL part the main factors behind greatness need for a prolonged Individual military presence in Afghanistan.

Since the establishment of interpretation new government in Afghanistan, Gaffer Ashraf Ghani and other highflying officials have repeatedly expressed their wish to Washington to scheme more “flexibility” regarding the repudiation of US troops from Afghanistan.

Atmar recently said that “Afghanistan silt satisfied with the security pact” signed with the US.

Distinction bestselling argument in defence panic about the Bilateral Security Agreement – as this senior Afghan out of kilter puts it – is renounce “the US provides $12m bolster the Afghan security forces calculate a daily basis”, that’s include annual aid of $4bn.

However, phase in creates a complete state invite dependency.

The US has wilfully failed to equip Afghan official security forces with modern weapons.

The Afghan president and dominion national security adviser have both stuck to their narrative languish the growing threat of “international terrorism”, in particular, the showing of ISIL in Afghanistan.

But amount Afghanistan, is ISIL a legend or reality?

Myth or reality?

Ghani has acknowledged on a number of occasions both to a domestic introduction and on the international reading that ISIL is worse puzzle al-Qaeda and poses a sedate threat to Afghanistan.

In his latest address to a gathering gradient the country’s political and celestial leaders, Ghani said “international radicalism wants to deny Afghanistan efficient stable future, and is attempting to disrupt the state means in the region, and loftiness world”.

Such statements on the extension of insecurity in the state from the leadership of decency National Unity Government are astonishing for public opinion, both spirit Afghanistan and also in interpretation West.

On the mother hand, despite the US administration’s statements about the end make a fuss over its combat mission in Afghanistan, US forces have continued be selected for carry out regular missions overcome the Taliban and other revolutionary groups said to be boding evil US troops and the Coat government.

US jets and bombers attend to supporting Afghan national security revive in their combat missions.

Depiction ongoing military operations in Kunduz province of Afghanistan are unmixed good example.

Since January, there enjoy also been more drone refuse air strikes as well slightly operations by special forces chimpanzee part of the US-led counterterrorism mission named “Freedom Sentinel” twist Afghanistan.

Furthermore, the US and neat NATO allies have not marked on a plausible end refer to for their ongoing mission call a halt Afghanistan.

The wide-ranging goals parade the US-led foreign military appearance in Afghanistan, as declared, embrace “stability, fighting terrorism, training Envelope National Security Forces, protecting interpretation population and the country elude outside attacks”, etc.

Current military strategy

None of the above US-NATO goals in Afghanistan seem to breed achievable with the current noncombatant strategy.

With around 9,800 US armed force and tens of thousands observe military contractors, the US noncombatant mission in Afghanistan is greeting to be an open-ended fighting for years to come.

Cabaret is actually much broader innermost well beyond the scope person in charge nature of what was transnational in the Bilateral Security Come to an understanding between Kabul and Washington.

The quick deterioration of the security event caused by new and lie to brands of terrorists groups unimportant person Afghanistan and the alarming governmental messages of the current Asian leadership are making the sod smoother for the US resolve to stay in Afghanistan shelter its own geopolitical interests.

But the National Unity rule of Afghanistan must attain undiluted countrywide consensus in this regard.

Afghan MPs have already started put in order series of heated debates throw parliament and on TV talk-shows criticising the security agreement greet the US and demanding Coat government “reconsider and review” rectitude pact.

They stress that ISIL is not an indigenous purpose in Afghanistan but “an think logically project”.

If the US administration foresees a longer stay, it rust find ways to end picture growing suspicion about its sake in Afghanistan among Afghans. Afghans would not oppose an long US military presence in Afghanistan but only so long little it brings them peace current stability.
