M uch of the world, and certainly mos t A merica ns , w ant that peace for A fghani s tan a s

examine s
the political, governance, s ecurity, and economic fact ors
that s hape the prospect s
for s uch a real peace. It fi nds
s ome rea sons
for hope, but more problem s
than s oluti ons . It al s o fi nds
that there i s
a s eri ous
ri s k that the U.S . may leave w ithout having created a peace that can offer la s ting s tability and s ecurity. The peace agreement s
to date do more to expedite a U.S . and A llied w ithdra w al than they do to create the conditi ons
that can lead to a la s ting and s ecure peace. It fi nds
that the Taliban remai ns committed to it s
ideology. A nd, that the Taliban ha s
good rea s on s
to negotiate, but t hos e rea sons are more for achieving their ulterior motive s
through negotiati ons , rather than s eeking a real peace. It s
ongoing military progre ss , it s
ri s ing hope s
for a U.S . w ithdra w al, and it s
commitment to it s ideology are all key indicator s . A
w ide range of s ource s
– including t w o major sources
of official U.S . reporting on A fghani s tan –
indicate
that
the
leade rs
of
the
A fghan
central
government,
Pres ident
G hani
and
A bdullah A bdullah, are both a major threat to the ability to create a la s ting peace and a s tate than can meet the nee ds
and hope s
of the A fghan people. More broadly, s ource s
like the World Bank, IMF , and different report s
from t w o U.S . i ns pector general s
provide data that indicate that the porti ons
of A fghani s tan under the central government‘s control are a ―failed state‖ by any s tandard. S ecurity

a
critical
i ss ue,
and
one
that

the
ability
to
negotiate
and enforce a real peace. There are subs tantial official
s ource s
that show
that A fghani s tan w a s
not w inning agai ns t the Taliban before the peace agreement s , even w ith the ma ss ive U.S . combat air and intelligence s upport alongside the exte ns ive s upport from A llied force s
and cadre s
of U.S . s pecial force s , elite unit s , train and a ss i s t force s , and intelligence operat ors . The A fghan N ational D efe ns e and S ecurity Forces
(ANDSF) are making progress , but reporting by the t w o U.S . i ns pector general s
– the S pecial In s pector G eneral for A fghan Rec ons truction (SIGAR) and the Lead Ins pector G eneral (LI G) – s ho w
that the ground force s
are yea rs
a w ay from being able to s tand on their ow n w ith any confidence and al s o that there are no current pla ns
to create an A fghan A ir Force (AAF) that could provide the level of combat capability the U.S . and it s
A llie s
have provided s ince 2013.
The civil development of the country pos e s
equally pre ss ing challenge s
to any effort to create a s ecure and s table peace. A fghani s tan ha s
s teadily fallen behind the pace of development compared to other poor regional s tate s . It ha s
regre ss ed in many w a ys
s ince the A fghan monarchy began to colla ps e in a mix of internal power s truggle s
in the 1970s. It continued to do s o during the peri ods from 1972 to 1989, in s pite of a ma ss ive S oviet effort; under the Taliban before 2001; and after a ma ss ive U.S . and international aid effort s ince 2001. A fghan electi ons
have not produced either a w orking political sys tem or effective governance in the area s
controlled by the central government. Afghanis tan ha s
al s o not moved t ow a rds
effective economic development, and the current economy doe s
not adequately meet the ba s ic nee ds
of it s people. Rather, the A fghan economy can only function if it i s
s upported indefinitely by ma ss ive out s ide aid, and it s till remain s
heavily dependent on the country being the world‘s major source of opiate s . It is
hardly surpris ing, therefore, that the current peace effort s
in A fghani s tan are uncertain at be s t. S o
far,
the
peace
agreement s

layout
a
p oss ible
s chedule
for

and
U.S . w ithdra w al s , rather than define a real peace. It i s
far from clear that the A fghan central government and the Taliban can reach a s table, w orkable peace agreement. The A fghan government ha s

are the fault of A fghan politicia ns
and leade rs , and it is unclear that Afghanistan‘s politics and governance can improve to the point w here the central government either w in s

unclear that the U nited S tate s
