据《福克斯》4月25日报道

在美军从阿富汗撤军行动开始时，塔利班武装增大了对该地区的爆炸强度，在过去的11天内，塔利班实施了62次炸弹爆炸、6次自杀性爆炸，致死63位平民，伤180人以上。美军目前大约有2500人作战部队驻扎阿富汗，拜登政府宣布在今年9月11日前撤出全部人员，但遭到两党的指责。参议院少数党领袖米奇·麦克康奈尔称，从特朗普政府鲁莽地提出从叙利亚和阿富汗撤军开始，两党领导人就开始对此批评指责。在打败塔利班武装之前，拜登政府决定从阿富汗撤军是犯了“极大的错误”。前总统小布什称，美军撤出阿富汗，妇女和姑娘们将重新陷入极大的困境，因为塔利班武装一旦重新控制该地区，其行为将极为残暴。拜登称，这个问题已经历了美国4界总统，两届共和党、两届民主党，他决定的撤军最后期限是经过与专家、国会、盟国征询意见后做出的，他不打算把这事再推到第5任总统。

The U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan has begun, just as the Taliban ramp up bombings in the region.

President Biden pushed back the initial May deadline set by the Trump administration, instead aiming to withdraw all troops by Sept. 11. Around 2,500 American troops currently operate within the country.

The move has received bipartisan backlash, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., saying it would be a “grave mistake” to withdraw before ensuring the Taliban had been defeated.

“Leaders in both parties, including me, offered criticism when the prior administration floated the concept of a reckless withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan,” McConnell said, referring to the original Trump administration timeline.

Now, the U.S. has started the final withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

“I now have a set of orders,” Gen. Austin S. Miller, the head of the coalition in Afghanistan, said Sunday at a news conference at the U.S. military’s headquarters in Kabul. “We will conduct an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan and that means transitioning bases and equipment to the Afghan security forces.”

The Taliban have continued their activity in the region even as the U.S pushes for peace talks: The Ministry of Interior reported that the Taliban conducted 62 bomb blasts and six suicide bombings in the last 11 days, killing 63 civilians and wounding 180 more, according to TOLO News, an Afghanistan-based news agency.

BUSH WARNS BIDEN WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN RISKS HARMING WOMEN, GIRLS BY EMPOWERING ‘BRUTAL’ TALIBAN

Former President George W. Bush warned last week that the decision to withdraw troops from the country would provide opportunities to the Taliban that he hoped the U.S. would not come to regret.

“My first reaction was, wow, these girls are going to have real trouble with the Taliban,” Bush said. “A lot of gains have been made, and so I’m deeply concerned about the plight of women and girls in that country.”
