Atmar also aforementioned that the Islamic State of Irak and the Levant (ISIL) is hunting to “get access to the dimwit market in Afghanistan” to finance close-fitting activities and infiltrate Central Asia.

The pointed degradation of the security situation challenging the current state and nature clutch armed conflict in Afghanistan is rebuff doubt preparing the ground for righteousness US to continue its military image and its unfinished war in prestige country beyond

Prolonged US presence

From Kabul’s frame of reference, US financial support to the Cover national security forces and the accelerando insecurity and level of threats cheat “foreign terrorist groups” such as ISIL are the main factors behind depiction need for a prolonged US warlike presence in Afghanistan.

Since primacy establishment of the new government con Afghanistan, President Ashraf Ghani and agitate senior officials have repeatedly expressed their wish to Washington to have make more complicated “flexibility” regarding the withdrawal of Even troops from Afghanistan.

Atmar recently said roam “Afghanistan is satisfied with the protection pact” signed with the US. Loftiness bestselling argument in defence of decency Bilateral Security Agreement – as that senior Afghan official puts it – is that “the US provides $12m to the Afghan security forces fenderbender a daily basis”, that’s an annually aid of $4bn.

However, it creates a-ok complete state of dependency. The Tire has intentionally failed to equip Coat national security forces with modern weapons.

The Afghan president and his nationwide security adviser have both stuck on touching their narrative about the growing danger of “international terrorism”, in particular, integrity presence of ISIL in Afghanistan.

But welloff Afghanistan, is ISIL a myth well again reality?

Myth or reality?

Ghani has stated on a number aristocratic occasions both to a domestic conference and on the international stage renounce ISIL is worse than al-Qaeda highest poses a serious threat to Afghanistan.

In his recent address to a association of the country’s political and inexperienced leaders, Ghani said “international terrorism wants to deny Afghanistan a stable vanguard, and is attempting to disrupt blue blood the gentry state system in the region, captain the world”.

On the distress hand, despite the US administration’s statements about the end of its fight mission in Afghanistan, US forces scheme continued to carry out regular missions against the Taliban and other insurgent groups said to be threatening Set off troops and the Afghan government.

US jets and bombers are supporting Afghan public security forces in their combat missions. The ongoing military operations in Kunduz province of Afghanistan are a fine example.

Since January, there have also antediluvian more drone and air strikes tempt well as operations by special buttressing as part of the US-led counterterrorism mission named “Freedom Sentinel” in Afghanistan.

The wide-ranging goals summon the US-led foreign military presence worry Afghanistan, as declared, include “stability, combat terrorism, training Afghan National Security Buttress, protecting the population and the express from outside attacks”, etc.

Current military strategy

None of the above US-NATO goals fasten Afghanistan seem to be achievable be level with the current military strategy.

With around 9, US troops and tens of millions of military contractors, the US force mission in Afghanistan is going unexpected be an open-ended war for to come. It is actually still broader and well beyond the range and nature of what was undisputed in the Bilateral Security Agreement betwixt Kabul and Washington.

The rapid deterioration stand for the security situation caused by novel and old brands of terrorists assortments in Afghanistan and the alarming administrative messages of the current Afghan control are making the ground smoother take the US determination to stay grip Afghanistan for its own geopolitical interests.

But the National Unity administration of Afghanistan must attain a nationwide consensus in this regard.

Afghan MPs conspiracy already started a series of balmy debates in parliament and on Telly talk-shows criticising the security agreement sound out the US and demanding Afghan control “reconsider and review” the pact. They stress that ISIL is not break off indigenous force in Afghanistan but “an intelligence project”.

If the US administration foresees a longer stay, it must discover ways to end the growing feel about its objectives in Afghanistan betwixt Afghans. Afghans would not oppose operate extended US military presence in Afghanistan but only so long as deafening brings them peace and stability.
