Taliban taking over

According to a report by the Senlis Council, an international policy think-tank with offices in Kabul, London, Paris and Brussels, the Taliban have regained control over the southern half of the country. This is after the U.S. has spent $82.5 billion on military operations in Afghanistan since 2002 compared with just $7.3 billion on development.

In essence, the American military involvement has been a dismal failure, with humanitarian conditions deplorable in the country. The report further points out that from 2001, the “US-led international community’s priorities for Afghanistan were not in line with those of the Afghan population, it is a classic military error: they did not properly identify the enemy.”

LONDON – The Taliban have regained control over the southern half of Afghanistan and their front line is advancing daily, a group closely monitoring the Afghan situation said in a report this week.

The report on the reconstruction of Afghanistan marking the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US is based on extensive field research in the critical provinces of Helmand, Kandahar, Herat and Nangarhar.

“The Taliban front line now cuts halfway through the country, encompassing all of the southern provinces,” says a report by the

Senlis Council, an international policy think-tank with offices in Kabul, London, Paris and Brussels.

The report from Senlis, which has reported extensively on Afghanistan over recent years, says: “A humanitarian crisis of starvation and poverty has gripped the south of the country.” The report blames “the US-and-UK-led failed counter-narcotics and military policies” for this situation.
