KABUL (SW) – Rehmatullah Nabil, a presidential candidate and Former head of the NDS, has warned of dire consequences if a peace deal is not reached before spring.<\/p>\n
In a series of tweets, he said given the recent developments in the region, if the US-Taliban peace deal is not finalized by this spring\/summer and Afghan political elite failed to form a national consensus based on national interests, it will not be a surprise that the Taliban may be provided Man-portable air-defense systems, which will be game changer for them in the Afghan conflict.<\/p>\n
“Afghans should prefer their national interests on personal interests. So far @ashrafghani has been failed to form a national consensus. Crucial days ahead of Afghanistan”, warned Nabil.<\/p>\n
Commenting on this, Mirza Yaarmand, an expert on security affairs, said if the Taliban indeed got such a system to attack aircrafts from the ground, things would get very complicated in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Ghulam Aaqa Eskandari, a political commentator, said the only edge Afghan forces have over the Taliban is the air power, and if the insurgents got counter-strategy for this, they would have the upper hand.<\/p>\n
The defense ministry has not commented on this.<\/p>\n
Talks between the Taliban and the U.S. have been underway since 2019, but the two have so far failed to reach a deal.<\/p>\n
