Speaking to our Principal Diplomatic Correspondent Sidhant Sibal, Asadullah spoke on Americans leaving Bagram without any information. He said, "We had done the initial plan and coordinated but on Friday morning, we heard that US troops had left Bagram. We were not aware about it."
Bagram airfield was the largest US military base in Afghanistan and a symbol of American presence in the country.


WION: What is the current situation at the Bagram airfield?
General Mir Asadullah Kohistani: Right now, the situation is completely normal. All our troops are deployed inside and outside. Our patrol is going on, we don't have any problem so far.
WION: Americans never informed you that they are leaving?
Gen. Mir Asadullah Kohistani: We had done the initial plan and coordinated with them regarding deployment and safety and security out of Bagram.
We completed it on Thursday night but on Friday morning we heard that US troops had left Bagram. We were not aware about it. I think this is because of the phased departure they did not inform us for their safety and took their own security measures.
They did not inform us but the main point was everyone understood that all the Afghan National Army units were secure and there is no threat from outside or inside in Bagram.
WION: Have you reached out to the Americans on reasons why they left like this?
General Mir Asadullah Kohistani: The last contact with them was on Thursday night at 7:30 pm and after that contact point was cut off we didn't have any contact with them.
WION: What is the current situation related to advances by the Taliban? Will Kabul fall?
General Mir Asadullah Kohistani: Everybody knows we are involved in four decades of war. We fully understand we will take back all the area which is economically and strategically important.
The Afghan Army is a responsible force and is getting ready for offensive operation and as soon as possible we will start our offensive operation to change the situation.

Man, i thought Pakistanis have been exaggerating Indian role in Afghanistan but it is almost getting obvious that Indians backside is on fire.

To be truthful, this entire set of circumstances could have been avoided by Afghanistan

All they had to to was understand that the MOST important countries for Afghanistan were Pakistan and Iran and to a lesser extent it's northern neighbours

And that Afghanistan's best way out of it's situation was to respect our sovereignty and reach out to us and explain how important Afghanistan was to us and how it would look after our strategic interests if we looked after Afghanistan



instead they went STUPID
They embraced India who hates Muslims and who Pakistan finds intolerable
India used Afghanistan and the NDS to create problems for Pakistan by training, funding and giving terrorists space in Afghanistan and the afghans willingly took part,


It thus forced Pakistan to look after its own strategic interests



In 20 years and hundreds of billion's of dollars, the afghans never resolved their political disputes, they built a weak and useless military that has fallen apart within weeks of the U.S preparing to leave


Now unfortunately afghanis will suffer, the US is on the run,aid money will dry up, regional countries wont want refugees and trade will be effected


Afghanistan had the perfect opportunity to fix itself and it blew it
