U.S. Will Complete Afghan Pullout by End of 2016, Obama Says
Keywords:
The current number of American soldiers in Afghanistan of 32,000 in May 2014 will be reduced to about 9,800 after 2014, which would be cut to about 5000 in 2015, an leave only a small force of specially trained forces to protect the embassy and for additional security. Residual forces will include trainers and Special Operations forces to keep a check on Quaeda loyalists in remote parts of Afghanistan and in the mountains. The drones have accomplished much of the work done in earlier phases of the war by ground troops. The Afghan war has also been all about Pakistan. The completion of a full term in office of a democratically elected government for the first time, and the election of the Sharif government, including the participation of tribal and other Muslim extremists in elections, have been the hidden face of the war changing its face in other ways. The beginning of a focus on development in Pakistan and India, and the election of a new government in Aghanistan, the peace talks with the Taliban, are other parts of the shift to winding down America's presence coming from changes in the region itself- by changing the very nature of the conflict itself and isolating the most extremist elements.

The facts about the Afghan Army the U.S. hands over to with the withdrawal in 2012- high risk of failure
10/15/2012
High desertion rate, high turnover, and other problems with the Afghan Army that the U.S. is handing over to with the withdrawal in 2012-2013. The increasing probability that the Afghan Army will fail to maintain control after the U.S. withdraws. The Karzai government has never tackled corruption and the issues arising from a flawed election leaving it without the kind of popular support it would need after the U.S. withdraws. The negotiations with the Taliban and the opposition have failed to produce any agreement on a post U.S withdrawal Afghanistan, putting the entire U.S. sacrifices in Afghanistan in lives lost, wounded veterans, and in the cost of the war at risk

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
