US troops to stay in Afghanistan
US President Barak Obama on Thursday said he would prolong the 14-year-old U.S. military engagement there
Obama had aimed to withdraw all but a small U.S.-embassy based force at Kabul before he left office, but under the new plan, troops will be drawn down to 5,500 starting sometime in 2017 and based at four locations – Kabul, Bagram, Jalalabad and Kandahar.

“First of all it’s the right decision and finally Barack Obama listened to the U.S. Generals, they were the head of ISAF command in Kabul. (The) early withdrawal in 2014, that was the biggest mistake, the tragedy of Kunduz can be one example of that mistake, and the lack of security and new transfer of security is the cause of lack of proper study and understanding the Afghan condition and security situation in the past. Having 10,000 troops I do believe it’s not enough, I also believe it’s too early for us right now to judge what may happen in 2016 or 17.”
The US President has been under pressure from his military advisers, the Republicans, and a bipartisan group of national security experts to keep U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The Afghan forces have struggled to deal with the Taliban which briefly took control of Kunduz.
The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan ended its combat mission at the end of 2014, and has since been helping Afghan troops who are in charge of the country’s security. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has been more supportive of the U.S. presence than his predecessor, Hamid Karzai, who left office last year. He said Obama’s decision would help his government fight “a ruthless and cunning enemy.”
Obama will keep 5,500 US troops in Afghanistan when he leaves office in 2017.
Barack Obama had originally planned to pull out all but a small, embassy-based US military presence by the end of next year, a timeline coinciding with the final weeks of his presidency.
