Why US Left Afghanistan ?

 

Afghanistan’s terrorism problem is bad for China and Pakistan

• After al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri’s killing, analysts warn instability under the Taliban could again turn Afghanistan into a terrorists’ haven
• The group’s anti-Pakistan affiliate is also gathering in strength, threatening Chinese interests in a region filled with belt and road projects

It’s not even been a full year since the chaotic US-led withdrawal from Afghanistan and already American drones are back in the war-torn country’s skies, hunting terrorists the Taliban had vowed never to allow back on Afghan soil again.

Since a strike on a house in Kabul early in the morning of July 31 killed al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri, US drones have been spotted circling over Afghanistan’s eastern provinces, seeking out more militant leaders from across the jihadist spectrum.

Their presumed targets paint a murky picture, seemingly ranging from members of groups allied to the Taliban – al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) – to its sworn enemies Isis-K, the so-called Islamic State’s regional affiliate.
