A generationIn the interview News Channel ntv Has become chairman of the Bundestag German politician Shows mastery of the situation in Afghanistan. “It’s all very painful,” said the 78-year-old politician. All Western countries will misjudge the consequences of their withdrawal from the country. “Of course, the evacuation looks like an escape. This is reminiscent of the pictures of Saigon.” The next Bundestag must deal with this issue.
At the same time, however, the defeat of the Hindu Kush also showed the degree of Germany’s dependence on its ally, the United States. “Without Americans, we can’t take action at all,” Schaeuble said. “Even now Americans must ensure access to the airport.” The Bundeswehr is still doing well as a “Allied Forces.” You should not be blamed.
After all, with its long-term commitment, the West is Taliban defeat. But the attempt to impose a Western value model on this country is presumptuous. At the beginning of the mission, critics expressed doubts about whether the West could democratize Afghanistan. Cultural differences have been watered down. “But women in Afghanistan and many others want to enjoy human rights. This is very difficult,” Schaeuble said.
Nonetheless, the chairman of the Bundestag believes that it is possible to successfully negotiate with the Taliban. This assessment has also been confirmed by women’s rights organizations. “So far, the Taliban have not really organized any massacres,” Schaeuble pointed out. He hopes that cooperation can bring a better situation to the Afghan people. “Maybe not everything is completely free.”
