सबसे बड़ा दोष तो इस समय संयुक्त राष्ट्र सुरक्षा परिषद का नजर आ रहा है जो बस चुपचाप अफगानियों पर तालिबान के कसते शिकंजे को देख रहा है। अगले महीने जब संयुक्त राष्ट्र सुरक्षा परिषद का वार्षिक सत्र होगा तो उसमें क्या उपलब्धियां बताई जाएंगी।

Veteran Australian war correspondent Lynne O’Donnell has returned to Afghanistan to cover the withdrawal of U.S. and allied forces, two decades after the troubled country was invaded following the al-Qaida attacks on New York and Washington, D.C.
The Taliban and the government of Ashraf Ghani are positioning themselves for renewed struggle, and O’Donnell says Afghans are worried about their future amid a sharply reduced U.S. military presence.
Between 2009 and 2017, O’Donnell was bureau chief in Kabul for The Associated Press and the French news agency AFP. She now writes for a wide range of publications, including Foreign Policy, Tortoise Media, and the South China Morning Post.
Notionally, the U.S. exit from Afghanistan presents Islamabad with an opportunity to proactively shape Kabul’s political future in its favor. But in reality, a post-withdrawal Afghanistan without an internationally backed, intra-Afghan accord offers far greater risks than rewards for Pakistan.
