The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconciliation (SIGAR) in a new report released on July 30 said that Afghanistan Government faces an “existential crisis” after a continuing rise in Taliban attacks that began well ahead of the withdrawal of US and coalition troops from the country, reports Tolo News. The SIGAR latest report said the ANDSF has retaken some Districts and the Afghan government still controls all 34 provincial capitals, including Kabul, but from public reporting, the ANDSF appeared surprised and unready and is now on its back foot.“ The overall trend is clearly unfavorable to the Afghan Government, which could face an existential crisis if it isn’t addressed and reversed,” said the report.
