American Military abandonment and Afghan Taliban Takeover in Afghanistan after 20 years
On Sunday,
15th August, 21, the Taliban penetrate the Afghanistan capital “Kabul”,
completing a prompt takeover over the country with a speed that astounded many
Afghanistan people and U.S Military alike. The Taliban’s advance came as the
American Government was finishing the military withdrawal to which it approved
in the February, 2020.
The
plummet of the elected Afghan government, supported by billions of dollars United
States aid over the course of nearly twenty years, raises major questions regarding
past, present, and future of Afghanistan and United States.
In other hand, The Taliban discards responsibility for the “Kabul airport chaos”, saying the West could have had a superior flight arrangement.
