Dark clouds are shadowing Afghanistan, as the final pullout of American forces from the beleaguered war-torn country continues and the future darkens with the likely approach of a militant Taliban regime. Time is running out to prevent a worst-case scenario, as Deborah Lyons, the U.N. s special representative told a Security Council briefing, in which she warned that the possible slide toward dire scenarios is undeniable.
Observers are alarmed at the lack of political unity in the country, which somehow must be addressed or risk contributing to further Taliban territorial advances. Representative Lyons stressed that through its intensified military campaign, the Taliban has captured more than 50 of Afghanistan s 370 districts since the start of May.
