According to a former US ambassador, Afghanistan is on the verge of civil war.

According to a former American ambassador to Kabul, Afghanistan is likely to descend into a lengthy civil war if US ground forces depart at the end of the month.

According to Ryan Crocker, the US ambassador to Afghanistan under the Obama administration, there is no possibility that US forces would return.

“President Biden has stated as much. Mr Crocker stated, “We’re going out and staying out.”

He said that US Vice President Joe Biden’s move indicated he was “now taking total ownership” of his predecessor Donald Trump’s Afghan policy.

According to the Associated Press, Taliban insurgents took control of much of Kunduz province’s capital on Sunday, including the governor’s office and police headquarters.

The Taliban has been gaining territory and taking control of customs stations at Afghan border crossings, stealing a significant portion of the government’s income.

According to Gen Mark Milley, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, it currently controls half of the country’s 419 districts and is exerting pressure on province capitals.

On Saturday, the US Central Command said that air attacks had been launched on Taliban sites in Afghanistan to defend friends.
