The Trump administration plans to withdraw 2,500 US troops from Afghanistan in January, in a further push to end its longest war.
Many US bases are being handed over to the Afghan army despite a surge in violence.
Al Jazeera’s Filio Kontrafouri visited one of those bases in Achin, a once volatile region in the east where security forces are trying to maintain a fragile calm.

I think USA should not withdraw their troops now.
Yes good news finally for all. This should have been done long time ago. Safety measures provided to all the US troops and I hope we dont see any news about foreign troops in the middle east.
You can thank Trump for the removal of US troops from foreign territory
All terrorist org emerge from the nursery of CIA and Mossad and other European agencies.. this is fact no matter how much people oppose it.
I think its in best interest of ANA to keep peace
They must have wiped out all the poppy fields & stolen all the resources so its time to leave because there is nothing left to take.
i guess this area is good for the virus lol
Read the latest Washington Post article titled “Our secret Taliban air force”
The Taliban and USA worked together against ISIS in Nangarhar.
The Taliban and USA are working against ISIS. That was part of the Peace Deal
Even the Taliban and Iran are working together against ISIS.
Taliban are drug Mafia.
Taghuti Proxy under the Islamic disguised .
Taliban was created by USA
Did the Afghan Army person really say Talibans can slip in from Pakistan border? The Durand line? Which is now entirely fenced BY PAKISTAN due to national security reasons? The same fencing which took so long because AFGHANISTAN FIERCELY OPPOSED IT? Afghan Army itself had a few run in with Pak Army to forcefully halt the construction
Yes taliban do exist in Pakistan.
Why did usa used dron attacked in Pakistan for almost 12 years and Pakistan government done nothing
Sb Muhabaton ka asar hai 💖💖💖

@Mohammad AL-RaFi no
us leave is good news… taliban fight for protect thier land from evil… i more prefer taliban than Afghan army
The Taliban are foreign mercenaries. They murderers, they destroy roads, bridges and every things they can. As Afghans we have suffered enough. If you like Taliban why do not you pick up guns against your government and fight or destroy your country?
Time for India to stop funding terrorism in Afghanistan and close its 52 terrorist training camps in Afghanistan!!
They will be better within them self, without outsiders, In ShaaAllaha.
You make it sound like the USA are the heroes 🙈 How many Afghans has the USA killed 🤔. There has been more people killed there under the USA empire control . Go home yankee. ❤ from new Zealand
Al Jazeera want the troops to stay?
They want to make the West look as bad as possible… Leaving is bad, staying is bad… The point is to place 100% of the blame for a complex problem, directly on one group.
Afghan want them to stay too
@IKtheVS Yes if you passed high school you can do simple math.
Who is killing who and where.
So for over 19 Years the “Strongest” most well equipped military nation in the world
couldn’t win the war against some old dudes in the mountains called talibans with some old AK47s
And some homemade IEDs explosives 😂😂😂. It proves that America is not the same Super power they was 70years ago. Its a proof that Usa can never win a fair war. They only win wars on the TV screen in Hollywood 😎😎😎
@Zabihullah Ghouri
I did abused taliban but I did not abused your family. Come on
@Zabihullah Ghouri
The USA will go no where till peace come to Afghanistan.
We don’t want to finish all taliban they don’t want to finish us either so they are in doha to reach a peaceul resolution.
So why are you looking for war while your taliban is talking in doha?????
Do u wish more people die or better to have a peaceul resolution????
@Omid Yasefzoi my whole family is there in taliban ….
@Zabihullah Ghouri
But I said I’m not agree with taliban I didn’t say anything taliban family member or their khor aw mor
@Omid Yasefzoi gholo sara te hm joregey ao sta khor ao moor hmm….. che sta ghuntee spay e paida keray day ….
BYE BYE YOU BUNCH OF LOSERS
Turkey should take peace role in Afghanistan
They should do the same in Pakistan
@Sam Sam no man my mean in peace process not involving in Afghanistan are interfering
Peace process will cut hand of bad neighbours and all powers
There is no isis fighter over there its the Taliban
US and ISIS leaving together.. What does that tell you? 😅
@Zaira Mir 🎯
@marcel gilbert they are not fighter they are cowards ISIS terrorists groups
Long live Taliban
US Troops withdrawing because they’re preparing for a war with Iran.
Or a civil war in america
Sad but true
Israeli agenda
Iran is in China , Russia block. Iran is no more threat to isreal. So useless wars always bad for America.
never thought of that
Love our Afghan brothers🇵🇰
Only the young Afghans could save Afghanistan
Yep Keep the the military equipments given by NATO, nit sell it for money as money comes and goes.
Just remember who was there to drive the terrorists out. When the Terrorists come back you’ll be begging for the US to come back.
I don’t understand why people are whining about this. US gives them aid, is blamed for starting the battles and fueling the fire. US withdraws troops, is blamed for stealing resources and not supporting them enough???
Next destination iran
There’s always others out there who like to think they know/can do better & know all without being physically there hence they’re known as AsSpert.
As an afghan I can say the American done more good than bad.
The American help afghan government and afghan people.
We appreciate their help
wondering why Afghanistan is the golden country for all super powers & militia organisations, who ever control Afghanistan control the world? 😂
Afghanistan…
the never ending war zone 🤘
Lol right 🤣
Round 3 Chinas up next
They didn’t just left they couldn’t reach their interset
The U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Pakistan have cost American taxpayers $6.4 trillion since they began in 2001…. Long live Afghanistan 💜
Yet we still prosper long live america
Taliban victorious ✌️ occupational forces and puppet so-called Kabul forces defeated — well done Taliban freedom fighters the true Afghans who defended their mother land
Another pakistani who thinks they are the defender of Islam 🤦♂️Tell you prime minister to go beg for money long live Afghanistan long live Afghan force 🇦🇫
They have some nice American military weapons.
They need to display their weapons to keep market roaring.
Davil is gone.
Afganistan army need destroy terrorist taleban….taleban coming from Pakistan…
As always with US army cowards just as in Vietnam…it’s quitting time…argfan army is doomed.
Good
I am not a Trump supporter, but the withdrawal I support, Afghan has years to build their military they failed not America.
Afghan parliament is full of war lord and drug smugglers… Funny thing Afghan National Army has thousands of generals
@Zeeshan Niazi
Please remember the same parliament the same general the same afghan army keep taliban away from the main city.
Correct urself…America had illegaly captured land
Another empire is about to go down america is in brink of civil war
They playing game for other people’s life in so many decades😡😭 what crazy mission leave my muslim people their business alone from africa🤲🤲😢😢
We have not left yet! Allahu Akbar
You can’t win militarily when you are fighting against radical ideologies. The USA won with their military power by killing a lot but they have not won politically because most Afghans prefer the Taliban to Democracy. In this case, there is no more reason for the US military to be there.
GOOD STEP TAKEN BY TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. LET ALL US TROOPS BE REMOVED FROM AFGHANISTAN
Shouldn’t have gone in nor Iraq?
Terrorist main root cause is USA
When the Islamic state (IS) holds ground , then all US Taliban and Democratic governments becomes peace lovers & allied/friends . Cool
Don’t give up Afghan soilders you are the only hope for the Afghan future
Wasn’t arming the Taliban how we got here? Now the Afghani fighters want MORE weapons of war!? What a mess…
Still the pakistan says they are not intervening in afghan war.
Follow them, I don’t care how far, follow them to the graveyard.
It is not another countries job to provide free military equipment get out your checkbook.
I hope there will be peace in Afganistan
I really believe america would take care of this people before thy live
They do care
6Delta6 private American security contractor’s for hire.
We put veterans back to work.
Same scenario when soviets left Afghanistan. How do some afghan people still think that the puppet regime will not end like the puppets of sovjets. No invader will ever rule over Afghanistan just read history guys and compare it to the nowadays situation.

Apparently Canada Toole is learning stupid political tactics from trump and thought he can win the future election just like trump by keeping to tell lies without doing anything for canadians or americans. Also by just shifting all blames to China or demonizing China with fake news without knowing so many positive outstanding progress made by China during past 30 years. I guess with his manner and attitude by learning from Trump, Toole would just make Canada worse and worse instead of great again if elected in coming election . Look at now China has completely resumed normal even with GDP positive growth while americans and canadians including trump and Toole themselves both got infected with Covid and death tolls is still going up in both USA and Canada and even sadly with GDP negative growth even after all the unreasonable unilateral tariff imposed to China and other countries.
Never try to learn from stupid trump unless Toole wants to repeat trump’s failure for the past 4 years and remove office by majority of voters while he can not afford to lose by doing dirty things by demonizing Biden though most voters already choose to remove him because he himself, but not other countries is in actually danger of national security to USA by acting as President.
Disgraceful History of North america tells you that Some 200 years ago during british colonial period , all native aboriginal people of North america were forcibly removed by european canadian and US govt from their homelands near east coastal area and great lake areas to very remote and poor inland area named as “indian territories” which are similar to concentration camp area to have all natives locked up inland area without freedom. If any indian native people resisted by wars against european government armies for their unwilling removal will be killed by brutal military force. These series of genocides of wars caused native population decreased drastically from more than 50 millions to now less than 5 millions still surviving in North america.
Also There are five autonomous provinces for minorities people in China, however there are not a single autonomous state or province are allowed to set up for the native indians in USA and Canada. The treatment is Very unfair and against human rights for native people without legal permission building their own independent country recognized by UN who have settled in North america thousands years earlier than the europeans came through invasions around 2 to 3 hundreds years ago.
Afghanistan is a superpower sink hole.
2 generations have been listening to nothing more than War, War & War (Taliban, Bombing, ISIS, Killing, Mujahidin, Shooting, Alqaeda, Fighting) about Afghanistan.
40 years on wars going on………….
Afghans are still fighting, they are great warriors.
It’s a matter of time for Taliban to take over…America will soon need its forces to maintain order and unrest within USA
Afghans are not man enough to keep their country safe, it has been a puppet as long as i remember, Afghanistan has a weak history
Afghanistan in the last 40 years has defeated 2 superpowers and in their history even Alexander struggled to invade it and in a letter to his mother he wrote “I am involved in the land of brave people where every foot of the ground is like a wall of steel, confronting my soldiers. You have brought one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander.” So I suggest you be quiet when talking about braveness. Afghanistan is literally known as the graveyard of empires because how many empires have failed to take it.
USA killl millions of million Muslim people name of damocrezy Westin human rights???
Do American people think that whatever they did will not have consequences?? Mere withdrawal doesn’t guarantee it.
May Allah bless Taliban now and forever!!!
*Thanking Pakistan for Peace Deal 🙏🙏*
when peace comes when the amrican leave and fillfull their demand of taliban
Only know your lover when you let her go😂😂😂
I agree they need heavier guns. There going to need a miracle to fight the Taliban. The U.S is just another who has bitten the dust in afganistan
Puppet Army won’t last a month.
Get out Americans, you were not welcomed,
Us never win heart of afghan peoples. No man can be force to accept any ideology.
@Omid Yasefzoi U r in delusion. alqaidah, taliban..all origin from US. When plan A failed, US implemented plan B, n so on…
@DeenAssalam
I swear to god I have family who are still in taliban so please don’t make up story.
I know taliban I know what they want so don’t bring confusion
@Omid Yasefzoi I dont talk bad about taliban n all muslim whatever. But ask ur self why taliban exist. What behind their existence. There r no taliban others muslim country.
@DeenAssalam
Taliban came to Afghanistan by force and destruction but they did Brough peace to Afghanistan. Afghanistan was a lot peaceul from 1996-2001 but taliban made a mistake and then America come to Afghanistan and taliban run away to Pakistan and then thousands and thousands of afghan civilian died and taliban should be responsible
@Omid Yasefzoi who killed iraqi muslim, who kill japanese people in ww2 n more. so dont be delusion n fooled by false kindness. They robbed ur father 100 n giveback to u 1.
Afghan army zindabad love from pakistan ♥️
Lanth on tailbans

Elhamdoulilah
Put some muslim nation army backed peace keepers
People trust American more than Muslim army
@Omid Yasefzoi un backed muslim army like african mission in somalia under un
@Mr Wonder
The Muslim country doesn’t have the resources nor they have interest.
Just look it turkey in Syria???
@Omid Yasefzoi do you have any idea about un peace keeping mission in lebanon?
Military from Indonesia Malaysia Bangladesh are serving to keep peace between lebanon and Israel
Thank you NATO.
Those so called ISIL fighters were Indian rented and trained hounds to spread anarchy in Pakistan with the help of USA. But with USA now leaving things have changed, thanks to Taliban.Ultimately all Afghans will come together and rebuild their country. Good luck to them.
USA has help us a lot.
Thanks America
As an afghan I can say American has done so many good things in Afghanistan.
The American government supported afghan people and afghan government till now.
Thank you America
As a pakistani pashtun I hope peace arrives but I’m also proud of the pakistan army for clearning swat and other areas of kp up when the fake Afghan nationalist party anp let them roam free. Pakistan zindabad imran khan zindabad pti zindabad and pakistan army zindabad
Draft the no stand football players and send them to Afghanistan after we pull out, . . .
Afghan army = easy meal for talbans
barbaric savages of USA and NATO hordes go home !!
Thanks Jimmy Dore
We prey Taliban take power soon. You false media shame on you. ISIL is American made to destabilize Afghanistan and other oil rich countries. Death to America the biggest war promoters in the world. Now their target is Iran. But they will run from Iran also inshallah.
افغان سیکیورٹی فورسز ايک اعلی تربیت يافتہ فوج ہے اور وہ افغانستان کے دفاع کرنا جانتی ہے، حالات جو بھی ہوں وہ اپنے ملک ہو عوام کا دفاع کرنا جانتے ہیں
افغانستان کی سیکیورٹی فورسز نے ملک کے طویل مدتی استحکام اور سلامتی کو یقینی بنانے اور اس کی ترقی اور خود کفالت میں کلیدی کردار ادا کیا۔ افغانستان کی بہادر سکیورٹی فورسز نے ہمیشہ اپنے عوام کا دہشت گردی کے خلاف دفاع کیا اور اچین میں داعش کو شکست دی۔
What did all the fighting and killings achieved nothinnnnnnng the taliban are waiting patiently and gonna take over listening good what the soldier said they have no equipment to defend the country
Afghanistan don’t like occupation from foreigner Empires
Fight for your country fight for Afghanistan if you don’t want to be ruled by the tali ban don’t stay in your camp fight the tali ban in the mountains sleep in th he mountains and wait for them take the fight to them don’t wait to be taken over by them again fight if you want country more than they do fight for it you will win don’t pray to Allah for help fight he can’t help you win only by fighting for the love of your country will you win pray after you win god wil understand fight fight fight no make excuses you don’t have this you don’t have that you know where your enemy comes from attack them as they cross the boarder
After 18 years Afghanistan hasn’t got enough soldiers .
37 millions population and just less than 180000 soldiers ,
Some countries gave them some old technology weapons just for show off.
Believe me 4 weeks after Americans leave the Afghanistan , they will back to situation before 2002 .
Clearly and sadly
Talibans will be back.
Yup Afghan army, time figure out your own mess. We were there for 19 years not going to stay forever.
NATO is a racist organization, and criminals.
Donald Trump has been defeated lose in competition with Joe Biden high spirit win. Syrian Troops under the leadership of Bashar Al Assad has recovered most places in Syria from terrorists groups where as US forces more than ten years in Afghanistan and Iraq has not successful control terrorists groups like ISIS and other cowards terrorists groups.
Salaam 💞 Masha Allah Subhan Allah Alhamdullilah Allah Akbar 💞💫👑 power of God 🙏 God is Love ❤️
americans gone and now northern alliance u should be packing
India support, funds and train Terrorist groups in Afghanistan
Time for India to close its 52 terrorist training camps in Afghanistan!!
Good luck Afghanistan and Taliban
Our prayers are with Afghanistan.
Times has shown that US, France, UK and europe only kills in the name of bringing peace.
Thousands women, children killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, yemen to give them freedom from oppressed.
My advice to afghanistan is, keep eye on spoilors of peace talk in afghanistan and yours enemies especially india which is worst enemy of peace in region and rightly termed as “Mother of all Terrorists in South Asia” by UN in 2019.
Best of luck.
