Summary/Abstract |
The paper is an attempt to explore the causes that were responsible for the withdrawal of the US-led NATO forces from Afghanistan as the withdrawal does not represent a mission completed in achieving all the three main goals that were set forth in 2001 by the US, ISAF and NATO: eliminate Osama-bin-Laden and the Al-Qaeda terrorist networks from Afghanistan; to remove the Taliban from power and the last to bring stability in Afghanistan and establish a democratic state.
