has said that foreign forces were leaving Afghanistan in 'total disgrace and disaster'.
Karzai's remarks came in an interview with a foreign publication on Sunday (June 20) during which he said the US forces came to Afghanistan to fight extremism and bring stability, but are leaving nearly 20 years later having failed at both.
“The international community came here 20 years ago with this clear objective of fighting extremism and bringing stability ... but extremism is at the highest point today. So, they have failed,” he said.
Their legacy is a war-ravaged nation in “total disgrace and disaster,” he said.
“We recognize as Afghans all our failures, but what about the bigger forces and powers who came here for exactly that purpose? Where are they leaving us now?” he asked and added: “In total disgrace and disaster.”
