It’s curious that American advisers in Afghanistan, while citing the
decisions adopted at the International Conference on Afghanistan of
2011, as well as NATO’s Chicago summit
of 2012, are now forcing Kabul to reorganize its law enforcement
agencies. According to their proposal, this “reorganization,” which
should begin in early 2018, must result in the reduction of Afghan army
troops from its present level of 172,000 to just 136,000. Although
current president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, would decide to postpone
the implementation of the above mentioned measures until a ceasefire
agreement is signed with the Taliban, American advisers would force the
Afghan government to adopt the so-called “legislative decree” last
September anyway, changing the status of Afghan servicemen.
