Security in Afghanistan is decaying, says US general as forces leave - superadmin - 06-30-2021 KABUL (NYTIMES) - The commander of the United States-led mission in Afghanistan warned on Tuesday (June 29) that the country could be on a path to chaotic civil war as American and other international troops prepare to leave in the coming weeks. His assessment, in a rare news conference at the headquarters of US and Nato command in Kabul, will likely be one of the last publicly delivered by an American four-star general in Afghanistan, where recent events have included a Taleban offensive that has seized around 100 district centres, left dozens of civilians wounded and killed, and displaced thousands more. "Civil war is certainly a path that can be visualised if it continues on the trajectory it's on," the commander, General Austin S. Miller, told reporters during the news conference. "That should be a concern for the world." - More -
