US braucht nur noch wenige Tage für formellen Abzug der Truppen aus Afghanistan
June 30, 2021 -
Das US Militär könnte den Abzug aus Afghanistan in wenigen Tagen erledigt haben, noch vor der Frist vom 11. September, die Präsident Joe Biden gesetzt hat, um den längsten Krieg Amerikas zu beenden.
The withdrawal of troops and equipment from Afghanistan would not include forces that will remain to protect diplomats at the U.S. embassy and potentially assist securing Kabul airport, Reuters said.
Meanwhile, a top US commander in Afghanistan warned that the country risked sliding into civil war as the last U.S. troops leave.
Gen. Austin S. Miller said the rapid loss of districts around the country to the Taliban – several with significant strategic value – is worrisome. He also cautioned that the militias deployed to help the beleaguered national security forces could lead the country into civil war.
