NOURNEWS - In an interview with the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Kenneth F. Mackenzie, commander of US terrorist forces in West Asia (CENTCOM), claimed that ISIS would resume operations in Afghanistan next summer.
The US official said; The Taliban have failed in their efforts to deal with ISIS, and more clashes are expected in the country.
Mackenzie added; ISIS has escalated the conflict in Afghanistan and in recent months has carried out large-scale attacks in major Afghan cities, especially Kabul, which have killed hundreds of people.
He went on to mention the arrival of the summer season as the traditional season of the war and did not rule out the possibility of an escalation of the war in Afghanistan.
Mackenzie's claims come as evidence showing that the Americans had sent ISIS forces from Iraq and Syria to Iraq months before leaving Afghanistan to create new crises in the country and the region.
ISIS's movements in Afghanistan in recent months have been driven by US policy of terrorism, which has targeted the entire region, and the bloody explosions of recent months, which have also been divisive in ethnic and religious divisions, have been based on terrorism imposed on the country.
Mackenzie's remarks are in fact a cover-up for 20 years of US occupation and NATO and the terrorism they have imposed on Afghanistan, and today, instead of taking responsibility, they seek to transfer responsibility from the US to other elements by spying on the media.
US support for ISIS in Afghanistan has been such that after the terrorist attack on Kabul airport, the US claimed to have bombed ISIS positions, and evidence eventually showed that the fighter had massacred 10 families, 7 of whom were children, and there has been virtually no operation against ISIS positions.
Concerned about the resurgence of ISIS, Mackenzie seeks to show a successful track record of 20 years of US occupation and to provide an excuse to return to Afghanistan.
They have even sabotaged regional efforts to bring closer the views of all Afghan groups to form an inclusive government.
What has so far hampered the West's intentions to shift the political conflict to the military arena in Afghanistan has been the constructive and far-reaching measures taken by countries such as Iran to bring the views of Afghan groups closer together and seek to reach a national consensus to form a national government.
It is an undeniable fact that poverty is one of the factors that force people to turn to terrorist groups for financial gain. The United States and NATO scandalously fled Afghanistan irresponsibly, continuing this irresponsibility by failing to meet their obligations to meet the country's economic needs.
The United Nations has acknowledged that despite promises of more than $ 1 billion to help resolve the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, the West has delivered on just over $ 100 million and is effectively working to alleviate the poverty and hunger imposed during its 20 years of occupation. The country has not done.
In this regard; Ramez Al-Kabraff, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for Afghanistan and its deputy special envoy, has warned that up to 23 million people will be affected by the famine next month.
Interestingly, the West's approach to genocide and keeping the Afghan people hungry is such that the United States is blocking $ 7 billion in assets and actually fueling a humanitarian crisis in the country.
This humanitarian catastrophe could be a factor in the abuse of terrorist groups to recruit members of the poor and needy people of Afghanistan, and they will be forced to join the terrorists to save the lives of their families.
Based on this, it can be clearly said that the United States, in addition to directly supporting ISIS in this country, indirectly supports ISIS by disrupting the political, humanitarian, and livelihood process in Afghanistan and seeks to strengthen it in this country and the region.
With these explanations; It would be logical to say that Mackenzie's remarks are not a prediction and expression of concern about the future of terrorism in Afghanistan, but a kind of planning and giving the green light to terrorist groups to impose a hot summer on Afghanistan.
This behavior, of course, is not new, and the United States has repeatedly made such questionable predictions about the resurgence of ISIS in other parts of the world, including Syria and Iraq, while evidence shows that these groups have been revived under US auspices and have once again played a critical role.
