the fighting is less than an hourfrom kabul now, in the neighbouring logar province. wounded from there have been coming to this kabul hospital. this 14—year—old boy was injured in an explosion, he's lost an eye and had his arm amputated. "one of my brothers was also killed in the fighting one year ago." "if my mother finds out what has happened to me, she will have a stroke," he says. more than 1000 have been killed in the past month in a country engulfed by suffering. yogita limaye, bbc news, kabul. in 2001, it was a us—led military coalition that ousted the taliban from power for providing refuge to al-qaeda. with the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaching, there are fears that the taliban may soon be back in charge, thus completing a vicious historical circle. general david petraeus served as commander of us and nato forces in afghanistan. he told the bbc there is no good outcome now, unless foreign troops go back into afghanistan. i would say that we should literally reverse the decision. i think when the decision was announced months ago, i said that i

we are engaged with our neighbours, all neighbouring countries.lso. so i think it has to be a comprehensive international effort, even beyond this phase also. this horrific attack, which was claimed by islamic state, has underlined that security will be one of the main challenges. yes. again, there is criticism that, whether they are taliban or islamic state or haqqani network, they come across the border from pakistan. is this going to be a growing priority for you to try to play a role in ensuring that these attacks don't continue? these attacks are a big challenge. these attacks are a big threat... a big threat to the people of pakistan? to the people in afghanistan, first of all. those in airport operations, to the people in afghanistan. and pakistan has repeatedly said that we want to have all kinds of bilateral cooperation with afghanistan and international cooperation for dealing with these threats, for impeding such terrorist groups for... but the fact that it was allowed to happen. yeah. they have to come from somewhere, and, as you know,

but they've also moved into the neighbouring regions of amhara and afar. they hold much more territory now. so what's gone wrong? when we are holding mekelle and when our forces were in tigray, there are constant issues that are being raised about humanitarian access, the humanitarian situation. we want to improve the humanitarian situation and we are also concerned by the fact that the tplf was sending wave after wave of civilians against our troops. there is an extensive use of child soldiers by the tplf. so under these circumstances, to mitigate and minimise the humanity, the humanitarian cost and suffering, we did the responsible thing. we declared a unilateral ceasefire and we withdraw our troops from mekelle. unfortunately, the tplf continued with its aggression and belligerence and escalated the conflict. it expanded it into afar and amhara regional states, committing gross atrocities against civilians. well, we'll get to the allegations of gross atrocities in a minute. but you tell me that you were concerned about the humanitarian situation. it's v
