What civilians in Afghanistan say about America s withdrawal

What civilians in Afghanistan say about America’s withdrawal America plans to “close the book” on its 20-year war in Afghanistan but the departure of US troops will usher in an uncertain chapter for Afghan civilians. US President Joe Biden announced Wednesday he would end America’s longest war by September 11, deeming the two-decade-long conflict in Afghanistan no longer an American priority. “We cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan hoping to create the ideal conditions for our withdrawal, expecting a different result,” Biden said. In Kabul, there were no illusions about the conditions that would ensue. “The withdrawal isn’t for our benefit,” says Mohammad Edriss, 31, who works for a foreign NGO in the Afghan capital. “There will be violence, insecurity will dramatically increase, and once again the Afghan people will start leaving Afghanistan and seeking asylum in other countries,” he says.
