In reaction to the statement of German Foreign Ministry for extending the presence of part of German security forces in Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mojahed by sending a message to German newspapers said that the country would regret such Action.

On Thursday, last week, German Defence Minister, Mr. Thomas De Maiziere said that Germany wants to keep between 600 and 800 soldiers in Afghanistan from 2015 when most of international troops will have withdrawn. He added that remaining soldier would have a two-year mandate to train Afghan security forces and would also provide logistical support, sanitary aid and protection.

“After two years period Germany will pare the mission down to a maximum of 300 soldiers concentrated in the capital Kabul to provide further training and support”. Meanwhile he conditioned the presence of German soldiers to acceptance of Afghan government and United Nations Security Council. Moreover, it is not clear what are the framework and conditions that foreign security forces should be committed, because the issue of American security forces beyond 2014 has still remained ambiguous. The government of President Karzai conditioned the presence of US to confirmation of grand traditional assembly. The problem embeds from

the issue of legal impunity. While Washington has made it clear that without guaranteeing legal impunity for its soldiers in the country, its forces wouldn’t remain beyond 2014.

It is not clear whether Germany would ask for impunity or not. Presently, around 4,350 German soldiers are stationed in Afghanistan. In January, Germany's Bundestag – lower house of parliament agreed to reduce the number of soldiers to 3,300 by February 2014.

But there is one thing sure that Afghan government needs part of foreign security forces beyond 2014 to meet the growing concern of Afghans who fear that complete withdrawal may led to civil war. Because though international community frequently emphasizes the military

withdrawal, it does not mean they should forget their long-term commitment for economic prosperity and political development. Afghan security forces are still limping behind to appear as national force that can protect the country from internal and external disrupting factors.

Therefore, even the symbolic presence of foreign allies can be helpful because it on one hand disappoints Taliban leaders who propagate that momentum will be changed toward them after the withdrawal and secondly psychological support for people, particularly entrepreneurs, to stop

withdrawing money out and instead invest inside the country. Such thing would herald a promising cycle of employment, stability, peace and prosperity.
