Ghani Blames US For His Failures in Afghanistan, Claims Khalilzad

Zalmay Khalilzad, the former US special representative for Afghanistan, said that former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani couldn’t deliver his tasks properly, therefore, he blames America for the fall of his government.

Khalilzad added that after the signing of the Doha agreement, the US continued their political and military support to Afghanistan.

Khalilzad referred to Ghani’s visit to Washington and how he was warmly welcomed by senior US officials and stressed that the trip took place after the signing of the Doha Peace Agreement between the Taliban and the US.

According to Khalilzad, America's military support to the Afghan security forces continued even after the signing of the agreement, and this support came even though, according to him, not one American soldier had been killed by the Taliban during this period.

This is even though many, including senior officials of the former government and those close to Ashraf Ghani, consider the signing of the Doha Agreement and the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan as the cause of the fall of the Afghan government and the rise of the Taliban.
