Khalilzad: Ghani’s Exit and Security Forces’ Collapse Shocked America

Zalmay Khalilzad, former U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan, revealed that the collapse of Afghan leadership caught America off guard. According to his statements, there were plans for establishing a new government through intra-Afghan negotiations, including agreements on ministry distributions.

The unexpected departure of President Ashraf Ghani, along with political and security forces, left American officials astounded. This rapid turn of events contradicted the planned peaceful transition of power that had been negotiated.

The situation unfolded differently from the anticipated diplomatic resolution, leading to an unprecedented collapse of the Afghan government structure that had been built over two decades.
