Kabul – Bagram Airbase, the central point of the US military deployment in Afghanistan, has been vacated by the United States. The United States has indicated that the US military withdrawal is nearing completion by vacating the Bagram Airbase. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid has welcomed the development.
The Bagram Airbase was the centre of operation for the US and NATO forces since the United declared War on Terror in Afghanistan in 2001. All the actions against the Taliban, Al Qaeda, were being monitored from this base. Therefore, the Taliban has attempted attacks on this airbase many times, but the Taliban could not succeed in the attacks. International media claim that the United States has indicated that the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan is nearing completion.
The Afghan military will be in control of this base. The keys of the base will be officially handed over to the Afghan army on Saturday. Meanwhile, analysts from Afghanistan and worldwide are expressing concerns over the United States vacating the Bagram Airbase. Australian analyst, Nishank Motwani, working in Afghanistan, claimed that the United States vacating the Bagram Airbase means leaving Afghanistan alone, in front of the Taliban. At the same time, Motwani warned that the US and NATO soldiers would see on reaching home that the country, Afghanistan, they protected for the last 20 years, is burning again.
