12:13 am
forces in afghanistan as one that would be a mistake from clips to attack the troops who is still that a return to violence would be one senseless and tragic but make no mistake we have the military means to respond forcefully. to any type of attacks against the coalition and the military means support the afghan security forces that would be a mistake. meanwhile taliban spokesman says house hand held out as their all foreign trips miss for the draw now as the agreement they reached was with the united states and not just its president we have not. stepped the. second person that believes that were made in. the street so that story 3 beer and b. was not only for food eaters it's what if you are so many are living make it the best if you were and also

12:15 am
people. are treated my own family members wounded in the incident and we spent the night to my neighbor's house i don't know when this country will be peaceful i beg everyone for the sake of god to please stop it. a hospital was severely damaged several of those injured were transferred to kabul and recalled what happened. was at 1st i heard a blast and right after the blast all the windows shouted and i don't know what happened next such actions don't exist. violence is increasing across the country fighting between the taliban and government forces is fierce according to the un more than $500.00 civilians many of them children have been killed in the 1st 3 months of this year. car bomb attack comes at a tense moment for ghana stan the foreign troop withdrawal is underway and will be completed well after the may 1st deadline stipulated in the doha deal that was
12:16 am
signed between the united states and the taliban last year. the taliban has warned that if foreign troops stay past that date it will resume attacks against them the pentagon and nato are releasing few details about their departure and with america's war coming to an end and a stalled peace process afghans are facing a new and uncertain future for counter free al-jazeera kabul. michael pridgen senior fellow at the hudson is a shoot he's also a former u.s. counterterrorism intelligence officer served as a company commander in afghanistan in 2002 joins me now from washington so the indication from the taliban is that. any delay to the withdrawal of u.s. troops could prompt a violent response how groups try to disrupt the departure of u.s. troops from the country. thank you for having me well we have to look at what the
12:17 am
columns are has done in the past and what they are telegraphing that they're going to do they will try to embarrass the united states on the way out so that our attack convoys as we reposition forces or try to move into other areas they cannot rocket and mortar attacks at air bases as we try to exit they want to embarrass the united states on the way out and what is really beristain is this agreement we made with the taliban where we made to ask of the tal afar we will leave if you don't kill americans and we will leave if you denounce relationship with our car you know they are now threatening to kill americans and we know that they still continue to have a relationship 'd with al qaeda so unfortunately if if and when the u.s. exit afghanistan so will the afghans that the taliban have threatened over the last 20 years the taliban has always said united states will even want it but we will
12:18 am
remain and we will remember. how downsize the biden administration view his tail with a tap on. i don't i don't believe the bottom instruction even the truck administration believe that this deal was going to work that you could reconcile with 'd a law and that somehow the taliban was going to be ok with what it has it now knows it can get whatever it wants based on the messages coming out of washington d.c. from the buy to demonstrate. by the administration will continue of course the use intelligence assets and conduct strikes against what we see as isis encampments or al-qaeda in cabinets but i don't believe we're going to do anything against the taliban and the taliban will likely retake territory and will exit afghans that
12:19 am
we've asked to do a very difficult thinks over the last 20 years all right if it's just about the withdrawal of u.s. troops in the country the agreement achieves that if it is about ending the conflict and bringing security will obviously that dale is flawed which means that washington except that the taliban will be empowered by this you know i'm not make in order to stay in afghanistan we have a new strategy to 'd win we don't know what it looks like the taliban's regaining territory every here that want this to go to pakistan and refit retrain rest and then they do the spring offensive spring offensive is getting ready to start that's where the taliban starts killing civilians killing afghan security forces and targeting americans who don't have a strategy to win and we unfortunately will have to remain in afghanistan in some capacity because it will continue to incubate accidential threats and the international community knows that our coalition partners in afghanistan know that
12:20 am
as well and this is a. i can argue that is the room decision to leave because we don't have a strategy to win but we will. continue to do with these extra social grants my cobra agency for the hudson institute and former u.s. intelligence officer thank you for joining us. staying in afghanistan has been a large fire which broke out in the capital kabul the blaze began after a fuel tank a court fire at a petrol station and then quickly spread the blaze led to a temporary electricity blackout in some parts of the city and damaged nearby buildings now rallies have been taking place across the world to mark may day or international labor day in colombia may day marches coincided with protests against government tax reform plans is continuing even though president even decay has backed down and ordered the proposal to be written and have been for days of

12:34 am
who support the president known widely by his nickname farmer joe were fighting with other factions that support the opposition now the opposition had objected to parliament voting to extend his term by 2 years they said that was illegal and now that followed the failure to hold those elections that were meant to happen in february now there are still some fairly major hurdles in in the weeks ahead from september last year up until february the central government and the governments of the 5 semi autonomous states couldn't agree on the terms for this election to go ahead that's why it didn't happen that agreement still needs to be reached now if it is to happen and it's also important to understand that the election that's planned isn't one in which everyone gets to vote rather community leaders will get to choose members of parliament and members of parliament will get to elect the president and there's a lot of mistrust from the opposition in from government and they. want to
12:35 am
stay in power lot of the opposition think that he won't agree to the terms of any election that doesn't favor him so there are certainly some major challenges still to be resolved in the weeks ahead if indeed that tension is to be deescalated in the fears of violence that we saw last week as a lot of people thought could if you didn't go well end up with the country returning to a state of civil war. funerals have been held in chad for 5 protesters killed in demonstrations against military rule human rights groups say more people died in the clashes on choose day but the official numbers and kept low dozens of people reportedly wounded as well in nationwide rallies against the military council led by the son of the late president idriss day he was killed a month ago in the north of the country on the frontline against rebels who had been threatening in advance on the capital activists saying they won't give up
