Afghanistan is now Gunistan: World's concern, Al Qaeda, which struggled for 20 years to end, will now raise its head again; Terrorist organizations will get shelter

 

20 years ago the US entered Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The attack was carried out by the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, which is backed by the Taliban. Experts worry whether terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda will now find safe haven in Afghanistan. Experts are viewing the Taliban victory as a major threat to the spread of terror around the world.

Nathan Sales, a former US coordinator for counter-terrorism, says that the Taliban's occupation of Afghanistan will increase the risk of terror for America. It is almost certain that Al Qaeda will find safe haven in Afghanistan. The Taliban will use al-Qaeda to plot terror against the US and its allies. John Sowers, the former head of Britain's foreign intelligence service, has also expressed concern.

'Stepped into Afghanistan to end terror'

He said, 'We had stepped into Afghanistan to end terror. Now the Taliban, a friend of terrorists, is in control of Afghanistan. The power of the Taliban would be dangerous. The Taliban may have learned some lessons in 20 years. The question is how much control the Taliban fighters will have over the leadership that negotiates peace in Doha.

Peter Newman, Professor of Security Studies at King's College London, said: "The Taliban will promote terrorists against the United States." Taliban is the devil of fundamentalists. Al Qaeda supporters celebrate the victory of the Taliban. They consider it a victory over America.

Every country is assessing its profit and loss

In view of the latest situation in Afghanistan, each country is assessing its own profit and loss. India has not yet given any official statement on this whole issue. In the scenario so far, China, Russia and Pakistan have not been seen in complete support, if not even in opposition, to the Taliban power. In the context of this and India, Ritesh Shukla of Dainik Bhaskar spoke to former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran.

According to him, the rise of Taliban will eventually give rise to new breeding ground for terrorist organizations. This is a big threat to India. However, there are opportunities for India as well. After all, what are the dangers, what are the opportunities, what are the challenges, what are the effects... Edited excerpts from the conversation with former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran on all these questions-

Pakistan has raised the Taliban, but it will also be under threat

Afghan army lost without a fight?

No one expected the government to be disintegrated so easily. Despite the military numbers and mass base, the stampede in the country due to fleeing proves that the Ghani regime turned out to be very weak.

Current situation with respect to India?

India should not forget that Pakistan is promoting Taliban. Right now the propaganda is going on that the Taliban has changed, it is a nationalist. After forming the government, it will turn against Pakistan. Because he does not believe in the Durand line... but such things should be rejected outright.

So should this be considered a victory for Pakistan?

Ever since the Taliban was ousted from the government after 9/11, Pakistan has nurtured and empowered it. He sees the threat of war on both his borders. To avoid this, he wants his supporter government to exist in Afghanistan.

How can we maintain relations with the Talibani government?

Establishing contact with the Taliban is a tactical move that is necessary. We must not forget that the Taliban could possibly make agreements with China, Russia and other countries to ignore the attack on India to protect themselves.

The reason behind this possibility?

We must not forget history. The Haqqani network is considered a part of the ISI and is an ally of the Taliban. The power of such groups will increase in Taliban Afghanistan. India has to be prepared for greater security challenges.

How can a bankrupt Pakistan provide money to Taliban terrorists?

Pakistan has never given money from its own pocket to the Taliban before. Earlier he used to get resources from countries like Saudi Arabia. This time China is coming as a new character in the equation with Russia.

Threat to other countries?

Today it is estimated that more than 10,000 foreign terrorists are fighting in Afghanistan. Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Al Qaeda and Isis are active here. It will be helpful for them in future also. it's dangerous.

So are other countries oblivious to this?

No one is unaware. After the death of 9 of its engineers in Pakistan, China doubts that Pakistan will be able to control the Taliban? Russia is concerned that China's interference may increase in its territory. Iran is concerned about the security of the Shia community. America is also not oblivious.

Is the new environment not giving any opportunity in favor of India?

There is opportunity in every change. Russia wants to oppose China but America and Western Europe have put so much pressure on it that it is helpless. India can reduce the pressure on Russia by talking to America. Most importantly, India should force the world not to ignore the Afghan people.
