Afghanistan will “likely” be plunged into civil war, a top US general told US media on Saturday, warning that those conditions could see a resurgence of terrorist groups in the country.
As American forces began their withdrawal, the Taliban took over Afghanistan in a lightning campaign, with only the northern province Panjshir holding out against the hardline Islamists.
“My military estimate… is that the conditions are likely to develop of a civil war,” General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Fox News.
He questioned whether the Taliban-who are yet to declare a government – – would be able to consolidate power and establish effective governance.
