New statements of Zalmay Khalilzad about the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan

Zalmi Khalilzad, the former representative of the US for the peace of Afghanistan, reviewed the new policies of the Biden administration regarding Afghanistan at the meeting of the foreign relations committee of the US House of Representatives. He announced that Biden’s decision to continue the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan regardless of special conditions is a point that seriously affected the achievement of peace in Afghanistan.

Khalilzad emphasized that the plan to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan was initiated by the Trump administration, but the Biden administration could stop or change this process. According to Khalilzad, he had advised Biden that before the withdrawal of American forces, the Taliban and the previous government of Afghanistan should reach a separate peace agreement, and after the withdrawal of the American forces, a partnership government should be formed with an equal share of the Taliban and the previous government of Afghanistan. .According to Khalilzad, this process is a power-sharing formula between the Taliban and the previous government of Afghanistan, which was proposed by domestic and foreign experts and could have continued for more than three years without the presence of the United States.

It should be mentioned that Khalilzad mentioned in the meeting of the Foreign Relations Committee of the US House of Representatives last month that the fighting season in Afghanistan is not over yet and we should not turn our backs on this country.
