The U.S. has obviously failed in its mission in Afghanistan, says Hamid Karzai

The U.S. has obviously failed in its mission in Afghanistan, says Hamid Karzai

The Hindu
Saturday, July 3, 2021 1:30 PM GMT

My view is that there was no terrorism in Afghanistan, and no extremism in Afghanistan, says Karzai

As the U.S. quickens the pace of its troops pull out, and talks in Doha hit an impasse, , who is still seen as a power figure in the country, is due to embark on a mission for talks with Taliban and Pakistan. In an interview to The Hindu, Mr. Karzai says the U.S. has failed in its mission in Afghanistan, and said hopes for regional security solutions depend on Russia, China, Iran and India, and an end to extremism by Pakistan. My view is that there was no terrorism in Afghanistan, and no extremism in Afghanistan. And that when the United States and its allies after the tragedy of September 11, came to Afghanistan, and they were welcomed wholeheartedly by a great majority of people in the hopes that they would be liberated from the creeping invasion that occurred in our country, and that Afghanistan would then be built primarily with efforts of Afghan people but also the systems of international community, India included. We thank all those who have helped us but the part which we suffer now, and has not been fulfilled, was the mission, as was stated by the United States repeatedly, that their presence in Afghanistan is to fight extremism and terrorism and bring stability.That has obviously failed. Look at our condition. Look at where we are, just a month and a half ago, more than 85 Afghan schools, girls, young girls and teenagers were killed and this was claimed by the ISIL or Daesh. And Daesh emerged during the presence of the US and NATO forces against the mission that they had proclaimed.
