The return of Taliban in Afghanistan, the US retreat, and challenges before India

New Delhi: The US forces haven’t yet fully returned from Afghanistan and therefore the Taliban has rapidly occupied tons of territories. Afghan soldiers are fleeing to the encompassing countries to save lots of their lives. within the last one week, the Taliban has expanded to about 50 percent of the world there. That is, things is extremely serious. And this is often not excellent news for India in the least .

Zee News Editor-in-Chief Sudhir Chaudhary on Thursday (July 8) discussed the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan after US troops retreated and therefore the challenges that arise thanks to this for India.

There are a complete of 398 districts in Afghanistan, of which 193 districts are captured by the Taliban, 130 districts are in conflict between the Taliban and therefore the Afghan army, and only 75 districts remain under the control of the govt . it’s being said that 20 years ago, the Taliban wasn’t as strong because it is now.

Afghanistan may be a neighbouring country of both India and Pakistan which is why it’s significant for India. Notably, within the Kandahar hijack of 1999, the Taliban helped secure the discharge of terrorist Masood Azhar from India. Since then, India has invested tons in Afghanistan to satisfy the Taliban’s challenge.

Why did the US withdraw from Afghanistan?

America’s presence in Afghanistan was for about 20 years and through this point it spent two trillion dollars i.e. about 150 lakh crore rupees. Most of this money was spent on the war against the Taliban, and therefore the government of Afghanistan got tons of cash . on the other hand suddenly America started reducing its presence from there by making an exit plan. From the US side, a peace deal was signed with the Taliban in Doha on this. This deal had just one major condition, that is, the Taliban won’t allow Al-Qaeda or the other terrorist group to work in areas under US control.
