INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Washington&& 's Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) John F
Sopko mentioned in a report launched Monday, that the agency found 6 short-term elements accelerated the collapse of the Afghan security
In his report to Congress, Sopko stated first the decision by the United States to withdraw all United States military forces && basically
altered the habits of the United States, the [Ashraf] Ghani administration, and the Taliban (IEA).&& He said many Afghans thought the
United States -Taliban agreement was an act of bad faith and a signal that the && United States was handing over Afghanistan to the
opponent as it rushed to leave the nation,& & he said adding that && its instant impact was a significant loss in ANDSF spirits&&
In addition, the change in the United States military & 's level of assistance to the ANDSF; the failure to establish a self-sufficient
ANDSF; previous President Ashraf Ghani&& 's frequent changes of ANDSF leaders and consultation of loyalists; the Afghan government&& 's
failure to take responsibility for Afghan security through the application of a national security method; and the Islamic Emirate of
Afghanistan&& 's (IEA) effective exploitation of ANDSF weaknesses, were likewise behind the collapse of the security forces.&& These 6
short-term elements collaborated to trigger the ANDSF&& 's collapse, & Sopko mentioned in the report.He said, in addition, SIGAR recognized
eight systemic factors that describe why, after 20 years and nearly $90 billion in United States
security support, the ANDSF was vulnerable
to collapse in the very first place and ill prepared to sustain security following a United States withdrawal.According to him, these
factors were: The length of the United States dedication was detached from a reasonable understanding of the time needed to construct a
self-sustaining security sector; No one country or firm had ownership of the ANDSF advancement objective; Advisors were frequently poorly
trained and unskilled for their objective, while regular workers rotations impeded standardization, connection of effort, and institutional
memory; The lack of reliable interagency oversight and evaluation programs prevented a clear picture of truth on the ground; Afghan
corruption wore down ANDSF abilities; U.S training, logistics and weapons procurement policies undermined its mentioned objective of
producing a self-sufficient Afghan military; The United States perpetuated pre-existing ethnic and local stress instead of accomplishing
mentioned objective objectives of force diversity and unification; The United States and Afghan federal governments stopped working to
develop a police efficient at providing justice and protecting Afghan people from crime.Sopko also mentioned that throughout SIGAR&& 's work
looking at the accounting for and status of United States -provided equipment to the ANDSF and United States trained ANDSF personnel, the
company found that the United States did not have a complete accounting of equipment and personnel even before the collapse.He said the IEA
is now using United States -provided military equipment in operations; and while some United States -provided airplane have been
recuperated, others remain in limbo in other countries.In addition, ANDSF personnel have gotten away, are in hiding, have been killed, or
may have signed up with extremist groups, Sopko stated.Sopko also specified in the report that the US department of defense and the state
left declined to examine the interimDraft of the report and in turn rejected SIGAR access to their personnel, && and mainly declined to
address requests for details&&
& This limited SIGAR&& 's ability to perform this assessment
Still, this final variation includes extra information that we received from United States and former Afghan officials over the previous
eight months, without support from United States companies.&& The post US and Ghani government ‘ set the phase & for the collapse of
republic: SIGAR first appeared on Ariana News.
