Pakistan News: Former president Pervez Musharraf said that NATO and allied forces should leave Afghanistan after defeating Taliban and Al-Qaeda. On the political front, they need an invigorated dialogue with all groups in Afghanistan, including the Taliban. In his article published in Wall Street Journal, he said, “The exit strategy from Afghanistan must not and cannot be time related. We must eliminate al Qaeda, dominate the Taliban militarily, and establish a representative, legitimate government in Afghanistan.” He said, “The dwindling number of al Qaeda elements must be totally eliminated, and the Taliban have to be dominated militarily. We must strengthen border-control measures with all possible means to isolate the militants on the Afghanistan and Pakistan sides.” He said, “On the Afghan side, the US and ISAF troops must be reinforced. All of this must be done in combination with raising additional Afghan National Army troops, with significant Pashtun representation. Exploiting tribal divisions, we should also raise local militias.
