A month after grabbing Kabul, the Taliban faced a frightening problem when they tried to change the victory of their lightning military into a long-lasting peaceful period.
After four decades of war and tens of thousands of people, security was largely increased, but the Afghan economy was in the ruins even though hundreds of billions of dollars in development expenditure over the past 20 years. While a lot of attention in the West has focused on whether the new Taliban government will keep promises to protect women’s rights or offer protection to militant groups such as Al Qaeda, for many Afghans, the main priority is survival.
US President Joe Biden’s main cabinet member failed to prevent him from pulling all US troops from Afghanistan, hoping he would take care of withdrawals to seek political settlement, said a new book.
State Secretary Antony Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin pushed for a slower Drawdown to encourage negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government, according to “danger,” a book that will come by the famous investigation journalist Bob Woodward Robert Costa. .
Blinken, old aide for Biden who had previously repeated his plan to end the 20-year-old war, called the President of Brussels after hearing concerns from Minister NATO in the March meeting, as reported by Agence France Presse.
“The new recommendation is to extend the mission with US forces for a while to see if it can produce political settlement. Buy time for negotiations,” he said, according to a part published by CNN ahead of the book release next week.

Baldeep Singh, an Afghan Sikh, who fled to India after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, knew three languages, including Hindi and French, but had difficulty finding work to feed his family.

About 73 Sikh Afghanistan came to India since the Taliban State takeover. Some families have gone for the punjab where they have relatives. What in Delhi relies on assistance from Gurdwara Teacher Arjan Dev in New Mahavir Nagar, PTI reported. At least six such families have lived in Gurdwara because they completed their compulsory quarantine period in the ITBP facility in the Chhawla region.
Amarjit Singh, 45, is between 49 Sikhs Afghans who flew to Delhi from Kabul through Dushanbe on Air India flights last month. He has installed Gurdwara along with his wife and five children, one of them three months old. “The Taliban does not care about his own people, forget Sikh. You don’t know what these people do,” he said.

The Fars Semiofficial news agency reported that the passenger returned by the Charter returned from Tehran to Kabul. It was said the second flight from the Eastern City of Mashhad was left for Kabul too.
