A stabilized situation of security in Afghanistan is what the government in U.S is and has been working for. Although previously also there have been many measures that were taken in this direction, now it seems that the efforts are becoming as part of the security concerns of U.S also. Every one is aware of the fact now that if the security measures fail, then the control of Afghanistan is going directly in the hands of Taliban which is completely unacceptable for almost every nation of the world.
It is being seen that if the security in Afghanistan is not strengthened, then even those smaller areas that are being ruled by Taliban would once again become a home of the violence setting the stage for the military troops of Pakistan could also become offensive. The Obama administration needs to prioritize between the long term and the short term goals. This needs immediate attention. The government of U.S has to work in the direction that when the U.S troops leave Afghanistan finally, the Afghanistan government would function properly.
With President Obama announcement that now three thousand or more troops would be sent to Afghanistan, it can be seen that Taliban is right under the target. All the additional forces that have been here from a long time have worked in the direction of breaking down the momentum of the Taliban and assuring that the population leads a safe and secure life. One more thing that the U.S troops have been doing while their stay in Afghanistan is to train the Afghan security personnel so that they can take the control of their security.
Some goals that are to be reached
Although most of the goals that have been set by the U.S government seem to be outwitted as for now, one can just hope that the result of these comes out to be a positive one. One goal behind which U.S is carrying all these efforts is to dismantle the structure that Taliban and Pakistan both are trying to come up with here. Apart from this, U.S has also defined as the southern regions of Asia are epicenter of terrorism and extremism. Some of the objectives with which the U.S government is chalking out the plans are:
- Denying access of Taliban to the populated and key areas of Afghanistan.
- Mortifying Taliban to that levels at which the Afghan forces could handle it effectually.
- Making efforts that lead to a comprehensive increase in the capacity and the number of the Afghan forces.
- Annulling the momentum of Taliban with the help of the military action performed by the U.S troops.
- Preventing Al Qaeda from establishing its territories in Afghanistan.
- Building the capacity of the Afghan in certain selected areas so that it becomes completely functional.
If U.S considers its efforts in the nation building format, then the results are surely expected to come.
