    Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy (name redacted) Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs (name redacted) Analyst in Middle Eastern Affairs November 7, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL30588 Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary The United States, partner countries, and the Afghan government are attempting to reverse recent gains made by the resilient Taliban-led insurgency since the December 2014 transition to a smaller international mission consisting primarily of training and advising the Afghanistan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF). The Afghan government has come under increasing domestic criticism not only for failing to prevent insurgent gains but also for its internal divisions that have spurred the establishment of new political opposition coalitions. In September 2014, the United States brokered a compromise to address a dispute over the 2014 presidential election, but a September 2016 deadline was not met for enacting election reforms and deciding whether to elevate the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position to a prime ministership. The Afghan government has made some measurable progress in reducing corruption and implementing its budgetary and other commitments. It has adopted measures that would enable it to proceed with new parliamentary elections, but no election date has been set. The number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, which peaked at about 100,000 in 2011, is about 9,800, of which most are assigned to the 13,000-person NATO-led “Resolute Support Mission” (RSM) that trains, assists, and advises the ANDSF. About 2,000 of the U.S. contingent are involved in combat against Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, including the Afghanistan branch of the Islamic State organization (ISIL-Khorasan), under “Operation Freedom’s Sentinel” (OFS).

  • Transition in Afghanistan: Losing the Forgotten War?
    burke chair in strategy Transition in Afghanistan: Losing the Forgotten War? The Need to Reshape US Strategy in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia By Anthony H. Cordesman January 26, 2015 Request for comments: This report is a draft that will be turned into an electronic book. Comments and suggested changes would be greatly appreciated. Please send any comments to Anthony H. Cordsman, Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy, at [email protected]. ANTHONY H. CORDESMAN Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy [email protected] Cordesman: Strategy in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia January 2015 ii On December 29, 2014, the US President and Secretary of Defense announced the formal end to Operation Enduring Freedom, its combat mission in Afghanistan, which had begun in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks. They also stated that the US would begin its follow-on mission, Operation Freedom's Sentinel, at the start of 2015. The President and the Secretary of Defense made these announcements with all the usual rhetorical flourishes and statements about success, future commitments, and host government progress of the kind top US officials made at the end of the Vietnam and Iraq conflicts. The President also implied that this Transition had ended America’s longest war, although Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel made it clear that relabeling the mission did not fully end America’s military role: 1 Operation Freedom's Sentinel, the United States will pursue two missions with the support of the Afghan government and the Afghan people. We will work with our allies and partners as part of NATO's Resolute Support Mission to continue training, advising, and assisting Afghan security forces.

  • Karzai's Diplomacy of Hopes and Wishes
    ISAS Insights No. 227 – 12 September 2013 469A Bukit Timah Road #07-01, Tower Block, Singapore 259770 Tel: 6516 6179 / 6516 4239 Fax: 6776 7505 / 6314 5447 Email: [email protected] Website: www.isas.nus.edu.sg Karzai’s Diplomacy of Hopes and Wishes Sajjad Ashraf1 Speaking to reporters before leaving Kabul for Islamabad towards the end of August 2013, Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai sounded resigned when he said: “I will travel to Pakistan hoping to get a result out of it. I’m hopeful, but not sure, I will only go with hopes; and wish they materialise”. Mr Karzai’s 20th trip to Pakistan since 2002, the first in 18 months and the first since Nawaz Sharif assumed office as its Prime Minister for the third time, came when Afghanistan is in the process of an important political and security transition. Afghan presidential election, which Mr Karzai cannot contest due to term limits, is scheduled for April 2014. The United States’ troops-withdrawal, announced for the end of 2014, will then follow. In between he faces the challenging question of how many troops the US can leave behind and under what conditions. The residual forces will continue to be a source of military conflict amongst various factions of Afghans. While the current dispensation survives because of the presence of foreign forces, Afghan resistance in the shape of Taliban wants them out. In addition, the never-comfortable relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, each country vital for peace in the other and in the wider region, have been getting strained in the recent past.

They are leaders and they are miserable. Baba's everlasting blessings on the Pashtun nation have not only attracted the attention of the writers and cultural figures of this nation, but also international critics admit that Khushal was a genius and great writer of his time. Elphinstone is a foreign writer and critic who has happily compared himself to some of the region's best-known poets and writers, describing the outcome of his critique as follows: "Ferdowsi, Saadi and Hafiz, when they come together, make one happy." In this article, we examine the four-hundred-year process written on Khushal Khan Khattak, in which foreign and domestic scholars first began to study it. And some seminars have been created and written on it and we have also brought out the book on which someone has written the introduction or notes. 2- Original text: The full story of Khushal Khattak is described in the year of his grandson Afzal Khan Khattak (5 AH) in Tarikh-e-Marsa and also five years after that the hidden treasure of Khan is mentioned, the first Pam Khan in the nineteenth century, when the British turned towards Afghanistan, began to see and research Khan's relics there, as well as to introduce them to the West.
