Afghanistan has had "an unexpected situation" during the past three months, he said. "This aggression and war has been imposed on us." Under a deal with the Taliban  ...Arabic for students... , which was signed in 2020, the United States has pulled out most of its troops from Afghanistan. Ghani said Afghans "have paid a high price for peace and showed great gentleness, but instead war was imposed on us." He was indirectly referring to the release of the 5,000 Taliban prisoners by the government as part of the grinding of the peace processor. He also denounced that process as an "imported" and "hasty" one imposed on Kabul that had resulted in "legitimizing an Death Eater group instead of achieving peace."

Ghani assured the Afghan nation that the situation would change in the next six months and the government would bring everything under control due to the security plan. "The army is defending strategic goals and the police are defending the cities." Posted by: Fred 2021-08-03 |
