The Taliban has assumed control of the country and they have opened the prisons and let out some Al-Qaida members who had been imprisoned. Will terrorist groups bent on causing harm in the region or in Europe or in the US be given sanctuary there ? The Taliban has already started contacting female journalists etc.
Will their rule and new security situation allow us to stay out ? This is an organic situation. Hopefully the past history of human rights violations and terrorist groups being allowed to operate with impunity from the country will not occur again.
