US has conceded too much to Taliban, says Afghan vice-president – BBC News

Published

on



American troops in Afghanistan are at their lowest levels since 2001, which was the beginning of the US-led war in the country.
A troops pull out earlier this month was part of a deal signed between the Trump administration and the Taliban in February last year. According to it, all foreign forces are due to leave Afghanistan this spring. Peace talks are taking place between the Afghan government and the Taliban, but it’s unclear if and when they might result in a resolution. All of this comes against the backdrop of a significant surge in violence. The BBC’s Yogita Limaye spoke to Afghanistan’s Vice President Amrullah Saleh.

    Usa and nato didn't want the lion of panshir to lead Afghanistan do didn't support with arms and were part of plan to kill him. Same now with President Saleh. He is the actual government not by terrorists put in by Trump and Pakistan and Qatar. Why? Because both masoud father son and Saleh say Afghanistan wants its own sovereignity. Trump biden Pakistan Qatar China Russia, They don't want Afghanistan to grow and get strong. Because of geopolitics, powers interests in controlling in minerals want to be in a free for all use and Bagram airbase and suck the country dry of minerals, worth trillions. They don't care for girls and women abused and kept in prison at home with burka. Humanity still has, a, while to understand that give freedom respect girls and women you have a prosperous and strong country. Look at those afghan women at high risk and speaking out like Saleh has. The usa, didn't eliminate talibans invading kandahar kabul and borders knowing they were ruling cruel tyranny during 20 years. Why? The USA, didn't want to build a powerful nation independent. Make them weak, wars and you can use all the land. Poor troops, lied to going there to defend democracy and get rid of terrorists. And see on ground the infiltrated talibans in the afghan army for wages and a gun food. The world is waking up to the truth of two worlds geopolitics mercenaries dressed in suits and the people fighting for a better world dying for their industries. Now is time to pressure to get talibans out.

    Amrullah Saleh is a great leader with excellent communication skills BUT with wrong assumptions, that's why he failed in due course…He also undermined T.ali.ban in his whole political career, despite knowing that T.aliban was governing 50% of the Afghanistan parallel to its government. He totally ignored the abilities to govern, aspect of patriotism and truthfulness among Ta.liban for their country. He relied too much and also fell in the trap of the countries who are either coward, deceiver and power hunger. Those countries were there only for their specific purpose, like creating hegemony among muslim world in particular.
    He could have engaged with Ta.libs and transform them in stages rather than dragged them into direct conforantations…!
    Again! great leader, firm and stubborn BUT with wrong assumptions..!

Published

on



55 million people across England will be in the two toughest levels of measures when lockdown ends next week. What’s the rationale for the new tier system? Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog

Tougher rules for England will “strike a balance” when the national lockdown ends next week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

At a Downing Street briefing, the prime minister acknowledged that the stricter three-tiered system of regional measures to tackle coronavirus would bring “heartbreak and frustration”.

Most of England will beĀ in the toughest two levels of measuresĀ from 2 December and the system will be reviewed every two weeks, with the first review scheduled for 16 December – so an area’s tier level may change before Christmas.

Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports and Kirsty Wark is joined by former health secretary Andrew Lansley, Labour shadow minister Cat Smith and former chair of Pizza Express Luke Johnson

Victory for Joe Biden: ā€œIt’s time for America to unite and to healā€ – BBC News

Published

on



Joe Biden has said he is ā€œhonoured and humbledā€ after winning the US Presidential election. He crossed the threshold of 270 Electoral College votes needed by winning the states of Pennsylvania and Nevada.

In a statement the President-Elect said: ā€œIn the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America. It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.ā€

The election has seen the highest turnout since 1900. Mr Biden has won more than 73 million votes, the most ever recorded for a US presidential candidate.

The result denies Donald Trump a second term after a divisive presidency defined by the coronavirus pandemic, bitter culture wars and social unrest.

Tina Daheley presents BBC news reporting from north America editor Jon Sopel in Washington and Nick Bryant with the Biden campaign in Wilmington, Delaware.

Coronavirus: Trump claims advice to inject disinfectant was just “sarcasm” – BBC News

Published

on



One of the world’s biggest disinfectant manufacturers has issued an urgent warning, after President Trump suggested people could inject themselves with the substance to treat coronavirus.

The company which makes products including Dettol and Vanish warned that ā€œunder no circumstanceā€ should its products be administered to humans ā€œthrough injection, ingestion or any other routeā€.

Disinfectants are poisonous if ingested and even external exposure can be dangerous to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. The President’s comments were heavily criticised by medical experts. Later he said he was simply being sarcastic. 50,000 people have now died in the United States from coronavirus infection.
