Kabul (BNA) The NATO Resolute Mission (NATO-RM) has reassured Afghanistan for what it expected from the member countries at the Warsaw Summit to provide annual military financial support after 2016.
The NATO member nations announced their financial support that would be extended to the Afghan security forces until 2020 as well as the military and political cooperation would continue after the 2017 with the war-suffered nation. Announcement of NATO’s Afghanistan support at the Warsaw Summit indicated that the government and people of Afghanistan are not alone, but have support from the international community, particularly the US in war on terror. Afghanistan should also assure the world that it was strongly fighting corruption and institutionalizing democracy, so the international community should prevent the interferences of the malicious groups and suppress the terrorist groups and most importantly help a lasting peace restore in the country.
The government armed oppositions should also realize that the courageous security forces of the country are not empty handed, and moreover, would further be equipped and armed with sophisticated weaponries in the near future and suppress them everywhere they found, so they should refrain from killing innocents and shedding their bloods, something against the Islamic teachings and human rights values. The government armed oppositions have now lost their resistance to the security forces, and are facing severe defeats in the entire battlefields.
At the Warsaw Summit, the Czech President vowed to train some 100 Afghan pilots and restore helicopters belonged to the Afghan air-force.
So, the Taliban should lay down arms and join peace process, a move would help the country get rid of destruction and the people prevented of fleeing their hometowns.
If the Taliban persist in war, they would soon be vanished and trailed everywhere, they hide. Likewise, the people of Afghanistan ask the government for spending the world’s assistances transparently for equipment of the country’s security forces in order to raise their capability against the countrywide growing insurgency. The government should continue working in elimination of corruption; an ominous culture overwhelmed both the government official and nonofficial administrations. For its long lasting cooperation, the world ask Afghanistan for doing more in uprooting corruption, restoring good governance and remaining accountable to the nation and the world of the high level aids. Meanwhile, German Chancellor, Angela Markel said the Taliban militants had now realized they are not capable to resist government forces so have no option, expect joining peace process as their areas of control are getting restricted and their activity sites are narrowed by the NATO backed Afghan forces, because the Afghans security forces have now become more capable to suppress them and pummel them everywhere in the country.
This should be notified that the first Chinese cooperation consignment, including modern arms, spare parts of transportation planes and logistic items, has reached Kabul last week. The cooperation indicated Chinese commitment to continue assistance with Afghanistan in war on terrorism. The government of Afghanistan is making effort to draw cooperation from the world and regional countries and expand its relation with them for further equipment of the security forces with modern and sophisticated weapons to drive militants out of the cities and townships. Any move by Afghanistan to develop relation with the world and regional countries, would be a red line to the government armed oppositions, as they have no hiding place inside Afghanistan and would be targeted everywhere they could seek asylum. The NATO member countries at the Warsaw Summit committed to provide an annual cooperation of up to $5 billion to the Afghan security forces and continue cooperation with the people and government of Afghanistan until 2020.
