US Commander in Afghanistan Worried about Taliban Advances
Voice of America
WASHINGTON - As the last U.S. forces are withdrawn from Afghanistan after nearly 20 years of fighting, the American commander says he is worried about the territorial advance of Taliban insurgents attempting to take back control of the country.
U.S. Army Gen. Scott Miller, in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” show, said the Taliban is “gaining strength.” “We should be concerned,” he said. “The loss of terrain is concerning.” For the Afghans trying to maintain control, he said, “Hope matters. Morale matters.”More Related News
