The important Chicago conference has concluded with conclusions to end the war, transition security responsibilities to Afghans and withdraw NATO forces from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. In the summit attended by fifty nations that are allied on Afghan war; none did say they are winning in Afghanistan and that the insurgents have been defeated.

As the NATO summit closed, US President Barack Obama said, "I don't think there's ever going to be an optimal point where we say, 'This is all done. This is perfect. This is just the way we wanted it,"'. "This is a process, and it's sometimes a messy process."

This is clear indication towards the fact that nothing is changing positively for Afghanistan. The game is just entering into another stage which will be bloodier for Afghanistan. Abandonment of this country without having the insurgents defeated means pushing this country into more chaos.

Apart from the Chicago summit, many politically and economically strong countries have signed strategic partnerships with Afghanistan. Nonetheless, we are forgetting that all partnership pacts are signed with one of the most corrupt governments of the world that has failed to bring about any sustainable positive change in the lives of the people of Afghanistan.

Based on the poor performance that the Afghan government has had in the last decade, one can say with confidence that it would continue to remain corrupt, weak and far from fulfilling the wants and needs of Afghan people. Once the international troops are out of Afghanistan and the security condition turns more horrific, it will be difficult for countries to implement what they have agreed upon in the strategic pacts.

Despite last year's Bonn conference and recent Chicago summit, the future of Afghanistan is still bleak. The international troops cannot remain here forever and Afghans have to ultimately take up the responsibility for defending themselves. Nonetheless, such process cannot be successful, if Afghanistan's administration remain 'as is' and insurgent groups – Taliban, Haqqani Network, Hizbi Islami and al-Qaida – continue to grow and pose more threats to security of Afghanistan, region and the world.
