The US and its allies in NATO came to Afghanistan in the name of fighting terrorism and extremism and to bring stability to Afghanistan, but are leaving nearly 20 years later after they failed at both and with an attempt to shift the burden to the Afghan people, Afghanistan's former president Hamid Karzai said.

In an exclusive interview with the Global Times, Karzai said the US and its allies cannot be absolved of their responsibilities in Afghanistan. US President Joe Biden said on June 25 that Afghans "are going to have to decide their future" as Afghan President Ashraf Ghani visited the White House. The former president agreed that it is the responsibility of the Afghan people to provide security for their country and to unite in the name of peace, but "it is also the responsibility of those countries, especially the United States, who came into Afghanistan in the name of bringing peace and stability."

US President Joe Biden declared in April that he would withdraw the remaining US troops from the "forever war" in Afghanistan, saying the US has long ago accomplished its main mission of denying terrorists a haven in the country. But the former Afghan president said "it's clearly turning out that the United States has failed." "Not only did stability not come, conflict did not end, and new terrorist groups emerged," Karzai noted.

Karzai told the AP on June 20 that the US' legacy is a war-ravaged nation in "total disgrace and disaster." "We recognize as Afghans all our failures, but what about the bigger forces and powers who came here for exactly that purpose? Where are they leaving us now?" he asked and answered: "In total disgrace and disaster."

He told the Global Times that the "failure by the US and its allies is now their responsibility to explain to the Afghan people," and the Afghan people "would like the US to leave Afghanistan responsibly."

Since the US announced its complete withdrawal plan from war-torn Afghanistan by September, Afghanistan has witnessed a surge in violence amid the US troops' pullout from the region. Karzai said to eradicate terrorist attacks on Afghanistan's soil, what is needed is the understanding and cooperation of neighbors and major global powers. He said China can play a very significant role, especially "trying for the betterment of relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan and for working toward a relationship between the two countries" that is based on "civilized interaction."

Karzai spoke highly of China's role as "a very constructive player for peace and stability of Afghanistan." He said the Afghan people really want China to continue to contribute to Afghanistan's peace by creating a platform of talks on its own initiative in Beijing and also for the joint exercise of Troika of China, Russia and Pakistan.​

I don't think he is in Afghanistan. He along with his drug lord brother is largely responsible for the current state of Afghanistan. There was never any hope for Afghanistan.

The country produces twice as much opium as it did in 2000. How did all those poppy fields flower under the nose of one of the biggest international military and development missions of our time? The answer lies partly in the deeply cynical bargains struck by former Afghan President Hamid Karzai in his bid to consolidate power, and partly in the way the U.S. military ignored the corruption of its allies in taking on the Taliban. It’s the story of how, in pursuit of the War on Terror, we lost the War on Drugs in Afghanistan by allying with many of the same people who turned the country into the world’s biggest source of heroin.

Here's a thought.

Stop interfering in other countries affairs.

Including, you know not taking them over for x, y, z reason.

I don't disagree. Once we lost Osama in Tora Bora we should've left and found other ways to track and dismantle Al Qaeda. Nation building in Afghanistan was a fool's errand.

Indeed. US is only good in destroying other countries. Nation building is not US speciality.

Nation building was just a temporary garb to colonise Afghanistan.

 

[Mirzali Khan]

Khinzeer. LMAO was supporting terrorism against Pakistan and was a slave of America. Now is barking against them as his lap dance his done.

 

[dbc]

Indeed. US is only good in destroying other countries. Nation building is not US speciality.

not really the US build post war Japan, Germany and Korea and other war ravaged nations in Europe. The US has success in this area. Panama ..pre-revolution Iran..Saudi..

Nation building was just a temporary garb to colonise Afghanistan.

for what? the US has ceded more territory than any other nation in recorded history.
I mean Cuba, the Philippines were examples of territory the US gave back to the indigenous population after defeating a colonial power. The US has no interest in land locked Afghanistan.

 

[graphican]

The title of the news should be:

A pet in search of a new owner, well-fed, cross-breed, easily accommodates to owners who timely feed.

Additional qualities:

• can bark on-demand and
• chase after old owners.

So what is new about it, it is a story that have been repeated number of times and in all likelihood will keep happening in the future.

It is a learning experience about friendship and finding out who are in fact your real friends.
