Starting on the 1st of May the foreigner forces participating in NATO Mission Resolute Support, will start orderly leaving Afghanistan, aiming to vacate the country on 11 September 2021; 20 years after the twin towers’ terrorist attack.
This agreement, achieved by consensus among all NATO leaders on 14APR2021, was made in light of the recognition that there is no military solution to the challenges Afghanistan faces.
However, Afghanistan will not be “abandoned” to its own faith. According to the Allied statement:
“The conclusion of NATO’s Resolute Support Mission takes place against the backdrop of renewed regional and international support for political progress toward peace. We will continue to support the ongoing Afghan-owned and Afghan-led peace process. “
The United Nations will now have big shoes to fill in that part of the World.
A sustainable peace in Afghanistan will have at its foundation an enduring, comprehensive, and inclusive peace agreement that puts an end to violence, safeguards the human rights of all Afghans, particularly women, children, and minorities, upholds the rule of law, and ensures that Afghanistan never again serves as a safe haven for terrorists.
