Na America and other members of the NATO make Afghanistan what they are today, the Afghan were doing much better under the strict regime of the Talibans before the US invasion in 2001.
Girls were not allowed to go to school. Women were not allowed to have public life. If any women was found as a prostitute, the women will be stoned to death and deemed legal by Taliban. Women were not allowed outside of their home except they wear burga (the dress that will cover them from head to toe, not even hijab) and only if a male relative accompany them.
US was attacked before US military invasion just as you commented in one of your previous posts.
Na the same thing dey happen for our military den go collect trillion of Naira for weapons yet we nodey see, e dey go back pocket.
Yet, it was obvious with fighting jets, thousands of armour tanks, military equipments. I get your point, but 300000 foreign soldiers including Afghan milliary should be able to combat Taliban successfully.
The Talibans are fewer than Al-Qaeda yet about 900k+ soldiers was deploy from US and NATO to fight less than 80k illiterate Talibans without proper military training for 20 years and den still lose to Talibans Grin make una shine eyes where US dey ooo
Illetrates but not illetrate when it comes to gun fight and war. US military tried their best, but is it worth dying in a country where you have spent 20 years to combat terrorists that do not not want to change after US military mission has been accomplished, also when the argument was that the country's government are not ready (putting in enough potential) to end the terrorists group, I think it is not worth it at all.
I believe US in Afghanistan for 20 years would help the Taliban to have some change of mind about againsting their women right abuse, although just a guess.
They are not cowards they were single-handedly put in power by the US after they took power from the Taliban so ever since then na US been dey control both the economy and military of Afghanistan, the Afghan government were just following rules, even when the US withdraw troops and asked them to have peace talk with the Taliban the Americans knew what was coming. All planned.
I do not think US were in power but the Afghan government will surely favour US, if US were in power, why are they withdrawimg their troops now, People like to mix up things when it comes to politics.
United State president later made it clear that American goal was not after counterinsurgency or nation's building, that American goal is to against terrorism, preventing terrorists attack on American homeland.
Went to Afghanistan almost 20 years ago, with clear goals 'get those who attacked us on September 11 2001' and make sure Al Qaeda could not use Afghanistan as a base from which to attack us again. We did that, we severely degraded Al Qeada in Afghanistan. We never gave up the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and we got him, that was a decade ago.
