True story. People who have never left Nairobi with exception of going for burials at their home Counties advocate for anarchy, a visit to neighbouring Somalia, South Sudan and Ethiopia will change your mind in a flash. Scratch that hata hapa Tiaty and Kapedo where you have to be escorted by RDU to and from your travels will make you value peace and peaceful transfer of power.
Is there a wider geo-strategic game (Iran?) in play?
There is even videos of a black hawk being flownI may not know much but I have seen videos of Taliban gallivanting around Kabul with humvees and other American-issue equipment..................
2017? When he became the first US president to negotiate with terrorists by sitting down with Taliban leaders in 2020, he surrendered the initiative to them to take back their country. You say he advised against a quick retreat yet according to his plan if he was re-elected, they would have withdrawn in May. So which running would be faster? Trump's in May or Biden's early this month?yea, it was part of a speech in 2017, just when he had been elected, but the media will not show this
Think of it this way, trump would have taken 5 years to withdraw, Biden withdrew less than 6 months into his presidency, what plan did he have in six months? whether you like it or not Trump had a plan and he has shared his plan on various interviews held in August in Radio and on TV2017?

Here you go again. Why do you guys make the facts as you go along? Who signed a May 31 deadline in Doha?Think of it this way, trump would have taken 5 years to withdraw, Biden withdrew less than 6 months into his presidency, what plan did he have in six months? whether you like it or not Trump had a plan and he has shared his plan on various interviews held in August in Radio and on TV
No, those are not boys from Ohio - those are Taliban fighters kitted in the bestUS body armour.
The lessons from Afghanistan will be taught in military academies for the next 10,000 years. It also has implications for us in Somalia - we need to stop our little efforts at nation-building.
But I keep wondering, did the US play us? Why leave all these equipment, including aircraft to the head-choppers?

Truly a historic moment, and a confirmation if any was needed that the American empire is in terminal decline.
We need to be soft, allow our leaders to lube us 24/7.Yet, you see kids here calling for a civil war in Kenya, typing away friously using their mama's wifi while waiting to be served lunch by the mboch.
Ujinga. Upuzi. Upumbavu.
The clip i shared was a 2017 clip, it means he started planning for the withdrawal very early in his presidency. Biden was nowhere in the political scene at that time. But it has taken Biden how long to plan for his withdrawal? a very short time with clearly no planning at at all.Here you go again. Why do you guys make the facts as you go along? Who signed a May 31 deadline in Doha?
You over estimate AmericansThe Taliban better be careful using these left behind military equipment. First of all I'm 102% sure they are rigged with listening and other surveillance devices.
Secondly they don't know if they're programmed in such a way that they can be controlled remotely.
The best thing is to let Iran, Russia and China take them for research purposes.
When you say Biden was no where in the political scene in 2017,are you whitewashing the fact that he had been Obama's deputy for 8 years.The clip i shared was a 2017 clip, it means he started planning for the withdrawal very early in his presidency.

Homobama was an unmitigated disaster for the world. I will never forgive him for Libya....................those were the worst 8 years in recent world history
