Afghan politicians and leaders of a number of political movements on Wednesday gathered in Kabul where they discussed Afghanistan’s ongoing political and security situation with a special focus on the issue of peace and the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) signed between Afghanistan and the United States.
This agreement has allowed thousands of US soldiers to remain in the country after 2014 and it has paid the salaries of all Afghan National Defense and Security Force members.
Members of Afghanistan’s Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament) on Wednesday voted for the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) between the US and Afghanistan to be reviewed.
Lawmakers said that the agreement had not proven effective in the fight against insurgency.
