The number of US and its Allied Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan’s War Over the past 17 years has exceeded 4000

America’s longest war in Afghanistan has taken a new turn. 17 years ago to take revenge of 9/11, the United States attacked Afghanistan with the NATO forces to conclude the Taliban’s collapse. But it has suffered a lot of fierce failure. And immorality and financial losses are also dangerous. The number of US and its Allied Soldiers killed in the war of Afghanistan during the past 17 years has exceeded 4000. More than 31,000 Afghan civilians have died and only 841 billion US dollars have been spent on war. The US and its allies have fought such a long fight against the Taliban now the US wants to negotiate directly with them. President Tripura’s instructions for talks with Taliban, finding possibilities and smoothening the past month last month high-ranking American officials have visited Afghanistan and Pakistan. In this regard, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went to Kabul and President Ashraf Ghani talked. And Afghan affairs expert Alice G. Wells visited Pakistan. He expressed his views after the visit that direct talks between the US and the Taliban, Taliban, the Afghan government, can negotiate between the US and Pakistan. Douglas Lute says Obama and George Bush’s former adviser about the US ambassador to NATO and Afghanistan’s affairs that time, there is a diplomatic breakdown in Afghanistan, which is needed to consider new measures, in other words, they emphasize on direct talks with the Taliban. It is important that NATO’s efforts in Afghanistan and the efforts of US military commander General John Nelson in last June, temporary warrior came into action on the occasion of Eid.
Former President Obama who had adopted the way of using military power to end the war in Afghanistan and for this purpose, a 30,000 American army was in Afghanistan but after this failure, it came to the conclusion that the Taliban could not be defeated by the military force and negotiations are the right path. The trumpets have also arrived at this conclusion and are looking for talks with the Taliban.
There are two reasons for this change in the US strategy in Afghanistan. One of groundest facts is that America and its allies have failed to defeat the Taliban even after the 17-year war. And now the Taliban occupy 59 out of 407 districts The Taliban’s progress continues to capture more than 119 districts. At this time, the Taliban occupy three-quarter of Afghanistan. Another reason for the change in US strategy in Afghanistan is the growing influence of ISL especially in the northeast of Pakistan border, which is called ISL Khorasan. Here ISL has set up its Operational Headquarters. ISL entered this area in 2015 and strengthened its organization’s roots with the Jamiat-e-Ahrar group of Lashkar-e-Jehangi al-Islami, Jindullah and TTP. The previous ISL’s rapid impact has spread and has made a major suicide attack due to this, the Taliban are also worried and that is why the Taliban want to negotiate directly with the US but the first condition is that negotiations should be about the withdrawal of the US from Afghanistan.
The United States wants to establish a coalition against the ISL, before joining the Taliban before confronting these negotiations and also wants to get Pakistan’s involvement and support in this alliance. But the biggest difficulty in this proposed alliance is India’s presence and its vast interests in Afghanistan. The Taliban are strongly against India’s growing influence in Afghanistan. It was India who provided military, political and financial resources to the Northern Alliance to overthrow the Taliban government in Afghanistan and played an important role. In India, in the past 10 years, with great acceleration, Afghanistan has accumulated its full potential on the economy and development projects. India has given Afghan government $ 3 billion assistance for development projects and more than 200 schools with aerial base near Mazar Sharif in the north, Iran’s port from Kabul to the spring of spring and the hospital has taken part in the construction and has been investing massively for economic links from the Middle East of Afghanistan.
So Salma Dam in Herat builds an important sign of friendship with India, Afghanistan. In this situation, India’s strong grip on the economy of Afghanistan and due to the military and political interests of India, there is a danger of the Taliban’s growing crisis in the United States’s coalition. In any case, the United States will not unite the United States with its enemy. India’s strong doubts are strong enough to have Pakistan’s secret links with the Taliban of Afghanistan. It is not hidden from anyone that America, in relation to South Asia’s strategy India has a strong and permanent influence in Afghanistan and will not take any step by which this strategy is weak. Of course, due to India’s opposition, there will be barriers, difficulties and troubles in the US strategy in Afghanistan. It is now to see how America overcomes this crisis. Nevertheless, there is no view of the end of America’s long war in Afghanistan. No one can predict that when and when the long war is over.
