The Afghanistan President, Ashraf Ghani on Monday blamed the US for the current deteriorating security situation of the state, highlighting, in particular, the abrupt withdrawal of the US troops from the country. However, the president mentioned that he has a plan to control the surge of events by focusing on the safety of the provincial capitals and major urban areas from the terrorist strikes.
Over the past couple of days, Taliban attacks have escalated in the three provincial capitals of Afghanistan, including Lashkar Gah, Kandahar, and Herat. The attack happened soon after days of heavy fighting, which was briefly followed by the evacuation of thousands of civilians.
The US and NATO troops had been in Afghanistan for the last twenty years. However, the sudden decision to pull out the armed forces from the already crumbling state has left Afghanistan vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Thus the focus has been shifted to coping with the security threats in the major areas, and Afghan troops thus have been deployed in various zones.
