2:32 am
years re running to keep them people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera. oh, a watching. i'll just remind our top stories with the pentagon has confirmed the last american troops have left couple walking the end of 20 years. when i got lost the 17 transport plane took off 4 hours ago clearing ask space before the announcement was made. well, the taliban hailed the departure of us troops describing it as a start limit saying i've done it's gone, has now gained independence,
2:33 am
celebratory gun font and far away has been heard a couple of thousands of boss guns still want to leave. the un security council has adopted a resolution to let them go safely, but it's not known if the taliban will comply. so as we've been reporting western troops have now left. i've got a song of the 20 years of war, but the country has been a stage for conflict for fall longer than that between great powers and afghans themselves. as have a look back in december of 1979, the soviets invaded and stayed in afghanistan for a decade with us support muslim fire. just call them which i, dean for back. a 1000000 off guns were killed in the proxy war. along with 15000 soviet troops, mage dean and splintered and fought for the capital leading to a 4 years civil war. in 1996, an offshoot of the major hygiene now known as the taliban to control and toppled in
2:34 am
the us led invasion. following the $911.00 attacks president george w bush refused a taliban also to hand over a summit, been lauded. his successor bark obama vowed to win the war of the u. s. could leave any sent in thousands more troops to fight a resurgent taliban. when nato soon had 850000 boots on the ground in the country. in 2011 a summer really? obama president obama released some taliban officials to hold talks in katha. they said the trump administration, had taliban co found that mueller up the gunny brother release from prison to help seal the deal? well, the us sign a piece agreement with a taliban last year and agreed to pull out by may of this year. and president biden delayed this by a few months and ordered the military to complete its mission by august the 30.
2:35 am
first. let's speak to andrew bass. of it in will pull massachusetts, he's the president of the quincy as chief responsible state croft and also after the accomplice america's role in a world transformed many thanks for joining us on the program. so here we off to 2 decades of war. the us military has completed its withdrawal from afghanistan. first. can i get you to reflect on the significance of this moment? i think the, the real significance is not in the evacuation which began as something of a disaster. great confusion on the part of us authorities ended in something of a success if we think about 123000 people being evacuated. but
2:36 am
i don't think that's the real story. the real story is the 20 years that preceded the evacuation. the longest war in american history, a war that belonged to 4 different presidents, belongs to the military award that had many media cheerleaders, but one which was radically mismanaged and ended in failure. that's the real issue . i think that deserves our attention. we have a very frank open statement by general mckenzie a little earlier who ever saw that final pull out saying the taliban had been helpful and useful? those were his words in those final days. but the evacuation looking ahead at what can we read into that statement? is there a possibility now that the 2 sides potentially could work together? well, i think from the us point of view, it's imperative for us to find
2:37 am
a way to work with the taliban. however disagreeable that may be to us authorities into the american people. we're now in a damage control mode. we need to try to limit the negative fall out from this defeat that we have experienced in limiting the negative fall out requires whether we like it or not, excepting the fact that our adversaries in this war having one are now in control of afghan extent. there was a united nations security council resolution past today saying the taliban need to allow freedom of movement for people who want to leave through land. or the question though is do they on the international community, have the leverage to make that happen to get the taliban to listen to them?
2:38 am
well, they might have some leverage, but i don't think that they have any will the un security council resolution sounds nice on paper? it has no backing in terms of if, if the taliban doesn't oblige, this is what we're going to do. each of the punitive measures the, the, the resolution was further weekend by the fact that 2 members of the so called p 5, the russians and the chinese abstained from the vote. so it is less than a resulting statement that obliges the taliban to behave in a certain way. i suppose it's, it's useful. the words are nice. i think everybody will be very happy. if the taliban proves to be a cooperative in fulfilling some of the goals that the that the
2:39 am
international community would like to see. but we're not in a position to dictate here where we are. we are operating from the position of genuine weakness. how concerned are you or how concerned should we be about a terrorist threats from isis? so isis k. again, the general making the point that the biggest challenge the taliban faces is dealing with the 2000 eyes is fighters that are in afghanistan at the moment. well, i think when this subject comes up, there seems to be a presumption that f ganna stan is the only place on the face of the earth where terrorist organizations can plot attacks against the united states or against american allies. that's simply not the case. so the, to the extent that there is
2:40 am
a terrorist problem in there is, it's not simply confined to afghanistan. that said, it is, it is certainly in the interest of the united states and its allies. that the taliban would act vigorously to assert genuine control or would the territorial integrity of afghanistan, and thereby prevent the malignant actors from from doing what happened on $911.00 remains to be seen if they're willing to do that remains to be seen. and if they're capable of doing that, i think the best thing that the united states and its allies can do is to try to provide incentives to get the taliban to take seriously its obligation to prevent terrorist organizations from, from finding, taking a group in f, ganeth stand,
2:41 am
andrew passive, it's very good to get your thoughts. president of the quincy institute for responsible stake croft i'll just hours before the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan was completed. senior taliban, the figure on us i. connie told al jazeera, the movement is unified and will decide on who leads the country. charlotte sat down with him in couple, lou muscular sharper, one, sunk. the problem in is going to stand was because if foreign is now the biggest goal is achieved, and assa connie tells us from his new accommodation and a leafy suburb in western cobble hare, he is a diplomat talking with former government leaders to encourage them to join and you tell a bon government still, he's wanted by the us, which calls him a terrorist. and as also under un sanctions, the taliban of phil, organizing the government. but what are the aims of the government? the 1st she was that she over all to maintain and be faithful to what we were
2:42 am
fighting for, to serve the afghan people to serve as slum. the people who were working towards the school have been fighting for 20 years, have given their lives, lost family members, and have been locked inside jails. who connie himself was imprisoned for 5 years and seen him to death. he was released 2 years ago to accelerate stored peace talks with the us in cutter. do you know what position you have in government had in santa was, and comes udo due to every human having weaknesses? i question my ability, but we have our elders orders, and we have to do what they tell us. according to our ideology, my personal desire is to finish my education live freely and help the muslim connie network was started by his father, july dean. and since folded into the 10 above its been responsible for some of the worst attacks in afghanistan in recent years. his uncle had legal non lead security
2:43 am
operations in kabul. his brother, sergio dean, is the televisions deputy leader. often when governments come into power, their internal divisions, is the taliban unified or are the divisions though the bully? i didn't know the problem was we took control of cobble and other provinces peacefully and reduced the damage to infrastructure and bloodshed. this shows our unity and alliance. we hope that we will prosper and pray that we never desire designations. pod wealth. we've seen the images of people running to the airport. they say they're terrified, they're scared of the telephone. is it warranted? and what can you do to reassure them? i will, hutton, which way they have a little bunny or the we've implemented a sci fi now. when they say the scared of the taliban, it's just an excuse. in reality, the americans have created this issue to degrade our nation. they want to show a comparison of getting to me hanging on to us helicopters, after 30 days attack. there's been
2:44 am
a lot of concern about eiffel in afghanistan. what is the taliban strategy to counter isolate? didn't he has had ample touch last monday we felt the world empty handed and came this far as we can get rid of such a group like we have in the past. this is not something to be stressed about. the and yet media skins are municipal reasons, not just my. i saw that by the telephone. no knowing what to expect from the group . 20 years since it was lost in power. charlotte bellis al jazeera cable. let's get some not the news. hospitals in the u. s. state of louisiana have been forced to evacuate dozens of patients soft hurricane. i knocked out power in many areas, including the city of new orleans, automate land full on sunday, but has since been downgraded to a tropical storm. full cost to say it bill poses a threat as it needs northeast into the state of mississippi. phil laval has the
