NATO into a new strategy to redraft the map of its interests
Major countries are moving towards developing strategies to confront international terrorism.
These strategies focus
on the abandonment of overseas wars and replacing them with the remote control
of conflict tools.
The United States and
France decided to end their military presence in the hotbeds of international
tension.
The administration of
former US president Donald Trump signed an agreement with the Taliban,
requiring the withdrawal of its troops and those of its allies from Afghanistan,
after a war that lasted nearly 19 years.
Meanwhile, the French
government decided to withdraw from Mali during the next period, despite
continued political and security turmoil in the country against the backdrop of
the removal of President Ibrahim Abu Kita from power and the exacerbation of
the activities of al-Qaeda and ISIS in it.
Withdrawals
These decisions come
amid different assessments of the moves of these countries.
With regard to the US
exit from Afghanistan, questions arise about the results of the war and what
Washington has already been able to achieve, most notably the elimination of
terrorism.
However, the real
assessment remains linked to the US administration's war efforts.
The US went to
Afghanistan to secure its own interests and those of its allies.
It also wanted to ensure
that Afghanistan would not be used as a terrorist platform for attacks against
it.
The exit of the United
States from Iraq has left a wide security, political, and ideological turmoil.
This turmoil is likely
to be repeated in Afghanistan. On the one hand, the Taliban aspires to take
full control of power in the country, amid minor skirmishes with the government
of Prime Minister Ashraf Ghani.
According to private
agendas, Afghanistan also faces an extremist ISIS tide that may be matched by
arming internal militias that serve Iran's goals.
