Brittiska The Guardian skriver om det amerikanska återtåget:
Biden to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan by September 11
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...n-september-11
Joe Biden will withdraw all the remaining US troops from Afghanistan by September 11, the 20th anniversary of the al-Qaida terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, a senior administration official has confirmed.
The president is expected to make a formal announcement on Wednesday. There are currently about 2,500 US troops in the country, serving alongside 7,000 other foreign troops as part of a Nato coalition. Most, if not all, Nato allies are likely to withdraw in coordination with the US.
Man får förmoda att även det svenska återtåget samplaneras med NATO, om inte den svenska regeringen vill ta hem svenskarna tidigare.
Biden har redan tidigare klargjort att vad som händer därefter är afghanernas problem:
Interviewed during the campaign on the CBS programme Face the Nation, Biden was asked if he would feel any responsibility if Afghan human rights, particularly of women, were harmed as a result of the withdrawal.
“Do I bear responsibility? Zero responsibility,” Biden replied. “The responsibility I have is to protect America’s national self-interests and not put our women and men in harm’s way to try to solve every single problem in the world by use of force.”
The Guardian har också en analys av beslutet:
Damned either way, Biden opts out of Afghanistan as US tires of ‘forever wars’
