Following its takeover of government in Kabul, the Taliban has renamed Afghanistan the ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’.
Kabul,
a metropolis of six million people has turned into a male-dominated
city without police or traffic controls, a Media report said.
Recall
that scores of Afghans ran alongside a US military plane as it taxied on
the runway and several clung to the side as the jet took off.
Senior US military officials confirmed to ALJAZEERA that the chaos left seven dead, as well as several who fell from the flight.
The
US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 ousted the Taliban from power
for allowing Osama bin Laden to settle in the Middle East country, but
they never left.
After they blitzed across the country in recent
days, the America-backed government that has run the country for 20
years collapsed.
A singular message from Afghanistan currently is
that the United States of America that is touted as the world police
nation has been defeated having been unable to stamp Taliban, who were
in government, out successfully.
To Nigerians, the message being sent
around is for those that claim President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to
end Boko Haram in six years to know that the best solution to ending
terrorism is avoidance of it in the first instance as we gathered, it is
not an easy but doable task.
“If America, with all its might, could
fight ‘terrorism’ in Afghanistan for 20 years only for its soldiers to
be disgraced out of the country leaving their heavy weapons including
Tucano A-29 light attack planes behind, Nigerians should salute
President Muhammadu Buhari, who recovered occupied territory from Boko
Haram insurgents under 12 months of assuming power.
“Also, President
has in the last six years continued to keep the recalcitrant restricted
to the Lake Chad Basin area and now has started the military clearance
operations with a singular aim to ending the evils in no distant time,” a
respondent said.
