The committee issued a letter saying that if the department’s noncompliance persists, the committee will be forced to proceed with “compulsory process.”
“House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the department’s ongoing failure to produce documents and information requested by the committee pertaining to the Biden administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. To date, the State Department has produced only 236 pages of documents, most of which were already publicly available or included substantial redactions. If the department’s noncompliance persists, the committee will be forced to proceed with compulsory process,” the letter reads.
The Islamic Emirate said that the US forces’ withdrawal was beneficial for both Afghanistan and the US.
“The withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan had a benefit for America as well. It ended a very costly and long war, and the Americans could not continue this war,” said Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.
Some political analysts have different views about the withdrawal of the US from Afghanistan.
“The positive aspect of the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan was that Afghanistan felt more independent, and the long conflicts in Afghanistan were lessened,” said a political analyst.
