The security condition in Afghanistan is getting worse. Insurgency is gaining weight with each passing day. Over the last two months or so, Taliban have launched a number of coordinated attacks in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. These attacks talk of their potential, strength and the will for continuing fight against the Afghan government and foreign troops deployed in the country.

Kabul is guarded by heavy military and police personnel. Nevertheless, this city is no exception when it comes to insurgents attacks. Taliban’s potential to target Ministry of Defense, National Directorate of Security and other important government entities inside Kabul, delivers the idea that targeting the government in other province is just a piece of cake for them.

Keeping in view the fact that the security condition is getting worse and meanwhile, the US-led NATO troops are on path to withdraw from Afghanistan and there are doubts how long ANSF would be able to protect this country from falling into the hands Taliban once again, the destination towards which the Afghan are moving is bleak and unpromising.

The winter has been bloody for Afghans – both insurgents and extremely cold weather resulted in deaths of many - and as the spring season arrives and the weather gets warm, there are fears that terror attacks might intensify. In the beginning of every spring the Afghans pray for a peaceful year but every year turns out to me more horrific for them.

Afghan government sees the solution of war in the political efforts rather than military. But the prospect of peace process is quite unclear as Taliban have signaled no readiness for talks with the Afghan government instead of that, they have attempted to boost up their acts of violence in the country. 

When a common Afghan has to suffer due to the worst security condition, grave poverty and various sorts of other social and economic challenges, then talking about development is all futile. In the decade-long US anti-terrorism war in Afghanistan, it cannot say it is winning it. Although the US and its allies are withdrawing their troops from here, insurgency remains undefeated. There is no guarantee that Afghanistan will not turn into an epicenter of extremists once again after 2014.
