Bonn conference was
first held in December 2001 to build up an Afghan Interim Authority to replace
the then toppled Taliban Government and to chose a leader for Afghanistan.
Hamid Karazai was luckily selected as leader. And them in 2004 elections
he was elected as President of Afghanistan. One of the major outcomes of this
conference was to establish the NATO-led International Security Assistance
Force (ISAF). Under same conference the Afghan Constitution Commission was
established to draft a new constitution in consultation with the public.
The Bonn Agreement called for a loya Jirga to
be convened within 18 months of the establishment of the Transitional Authority
and for the use of the 1964 constitution as the basis for a new constitution.
The constitution had been adopted by the loya Jirga on January 4, 2004.
Today again the conference
held in Bonn under the chairmanship of Afghan President Karazi, which
urges foreign troops pull out from Afghanistan in 2014, demands international
support to rebuild war-hit country.
Although the conference
urges the pull-out of troops in 2014 but the President Karazai still seems
afraid of comeback of Taliban as CNN reported. It says “The Taliban could make
a comeback and take over Afghanistan again, the country's President Hamid
Karzai warned Monday at an international conference on Afghanistan's future.
At this point of time
there are many prospects which add to the value of Bonn conference:
- · USA and its allies are mostly disappointed from achieving
their goals, as Hamid Karazi said "Our shared goal of a stable,
self-reliant Afghanistan is far from being achieved." This clearly
shows that after utilizing all might and recourses for at lesst ten years
the damsel of victory is still far away.
- · The time of US and Allied troop’s withdrawal is only a
year away, and the Taliban are still not in control, any time they can
make come back.
- · The Pak-Us relations after the NATO attack on Pak Army
are not as good as before, so any decision about Afghanistan without the
presence of Pakistan should be more wise and clever which can replace the
importance of Pakistan.
In the presence of all
these aspects it was expected that there would be a comprehensive plan for
peace, rebuilding, and stability in Afghanistan. The overall report of the
conference is hopefully good. But to be very honest, any settlement of
Afghanistan without the involvement of Taliban and Pakistan cannot be assured
as a long term solution.
Let us wait for the outcomes
of Bonn conference, as 2014 is not too far
I hope the Afghan people can just discourage Taliban sympathizers. It seems the Taliban is Afghanistan's KKK. If so, they've got it coming.
ReplyDeleteBut if see the ground reality, it is very clear to see that even after the 10 years of invasion still Taliban are dominant on major part of Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteand the reason behind is that Afghan soil can not tolerate the foreign forces on it.
