Blogs - Give up Afghan “red lines" or accept US bases. By Jan Assakzai
Given the
geo-political manoeuvrings of Pakistan in Afghanistan, the Islamabad-Delhi
rivalry, the potential negative fallout of Saudi Arabian- Iran rivalry over
Iraq and Bahrain, China’s effective
sponsorship of Islamabad’s dominating role in the region over Afghanistan, in
order for Afghans to stop the “little game” of the regional heavy weights like
Pakistan is to have continued strategic engagement with the international
community particularly the United States. Hence the only chance to ensure
territorial integrity and independence of Afghanistan in practice is to have
the US strategic bases in Afghanistan.
