The Trump administration is mulling a fresh new approach to the Afghanistan quagmire: giving up.

Good news from Mosul, bad news from Afghanistan, and President Trump angers Turkey by arming Syria’s Kurds.

What will the new US president do about the foreign policy quagmire that vexed his predecessors? The answer may lie in US-Pakistan relations.

Though it’s not a priority for either candidate in the US presidential race, Afghanistan might just be hurtling toward civil war.

In a sign that the conflict in Afghanistan is far from over, the White House has eased restrictions on conducting air strikes in support of Afghan security forces.

Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada has been named the new leader of the Taliban, and unsurprisingly he fiercely opposes any political reconciliation with Kabul.

The removal of Taliban leader Mullah Mansour will resonate in the AfPak region for years to come.

Mere weeks after the Taliban scored a stunning victory in the northern city of Kunduz, another provincial capital is now under threat.

A city held by US-trained troops falls to terrorists – the nightmare scenario for US planners is being repeated, though this time in Afghanistan.

If Afghanistan doesn’t break the political gridlock of its ‘hybrid presidential system’ soon, civil war might return to the long suffering country.
