A number of Afghan senators, including deputy speaker Mohammed Alam Ezedyar, are calling for an immediate review of security agreements with both the United States and NATO, complaining that they have not fulfilled their promises to support Afghan forces in maintaining control of the country.
In particular, senators complained that the amount of the territory under control is getting even worse, saying more than 50% of Afghanistan is now either under Taliban control or contested by them.
Sen. Afzai Shamil said the US “should be ashamed” and start taking the losses in Afghanistan seriously. Even those supporting the US deals agreed that the situation is looking dire, bur argued the security forces needed to be supported by the senate.
Many see this deal as a losing proposition, however, saying that Afghanistan needs to review the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) with the US, and the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with NATO. It’s not clear if they want to negotiate a replacement, or just expel foreign forces from the country outright as a first step toward a negotiated settlement.
SOFA agreements commonly contain a provision that each party can quit but must give the other party(s) one year preparation for leaving the country.
It has only taken 17 years for the situation to be clarified.
Afghan [or is it mostly Tajik and Uzbek?] ‘senators’ [it once meant old-wise men] complaining about Trump being a bit lazy or not eager enough to combat and push Talibanis away from some of the Tajik and Uzbek farms, pastures, butiful babies, and buttiful women.
NATO thinks it is a world government Army doing what the United Nations military is supposed to do . At least this is the story of the U.S establishment . Soon the whole world will be under a rulership like the United States operates under . Where we have so many laws and rules that anyone can be locked up for breaking one law or another at anytime . The powers that be can prosecute or neglect to prosecute everyone or anyone . The more laws we get the less Justice we have .
