Director of Asia International Crisis Group Laurel Miller During a speech in the US Senate Committee, the USA estimated the 20-year-old mission of the country in Afghanistan, transfers RT.
Miller stated that the United States could extract “five key lessons” from the campaign in Afghanistan. She also encouraged not to neglect the study of the state failure in the republic. The first lesson analyst called a wary relationship to changing the modes.
“If the success of the strategy depends on the specific conditions, you need to be confident in your ability to create or monitor them,” so Miller formulated the second lesson. In her opinion, the United States could not form a strong government in Afghanistan.
Analyst also stated that it is necessary to objectively evaluate well-known and hidden data, and depending on this make appropriate changes. According to her, in Washington, for a long time, the estimates of the American intelligence community about the situation in Afghanistan were not taken into account.
Also, it is also necessary to establish the conditions for allocating assistance, without relying on the success of the recipient. According to Miller, in the United States will continue to support the “Taliban” movement (prohibited in Russia as a terrorist), while in the republic will not solve problems with corruption and political disunity.
The fifth lesson Miller called the need to “realize the limits of the US abilities to assert their will where this is not vital.” She suggested that the deterioration of the humanitarian and economic situation in Afghanistan will entail the adoption of politically difficult solutions.
Earlier it was reported that the United States and Taliban held talks. The official representative of Ned Price emphasized that the States will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghans.
