At present, Afghanistan passes through numerous problems; uncertain political circumstances and instable security condition stand to be the most immediate problems, pleading prior attention. The intensity of suspicion over irreversibility of ongoing situation multiplies with every advancing day, eroding the confidence of both foreigners and locals equally to the minimal degree; consequently huge off-putting impact is inflicted on socio-economic uplift of the country.

The delayed if not denied fate of BSA, is one of the underlying reasons behind the sustenance of status quo, which may not practically serve the interests of Afghanistan. If President Karzai finds the ratification of BSA will not win socio-economic and political progress for Afghans, he is worth doing the delay tactic. Else, it is unwise pushing the country on the avenues of uncertainty and instability.

The BSA allows US military trainers and counterterrorism forces to remain in Afghanistan after the last American combat troops leave the country by December this year. This will ensure both political stability and security, given the insurgents and non-democratic forces trying to destabilize the system, are kept at bay. Taliban dreaming, to oust Kabul government subsequent to withdrawal of US forces, turn futile whilst Afghan national army is well equipped and privileged with greater opportunity of continued training by international forces.

Reportedly the ministers of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) are due to meet imminently to assess, evaluate and analyze the impact of ongoing delay for the signature of bilateral security agreement between Kabul and Washington and discuss the post-2014 NATO mission in Afghanistan and the impact of delaying the signature of bilateral security agreement between Afghanistan and United States as stated by NATO spokesperson, Oana Lungescu. According to her in the forthcoming meeting the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which gives a legal framework for the post-2014 NATO mission in Afghanistan will also be discussed.

Though NATO has demonstrated full commitment and resolute stance to support their mission in Afghanistan, which will focus to train, advice and assist Afghan security forces beyond the deadline for complete withdrawal, yet the government has not displayed its political vision, undoing progression towards political isolation. Afghanistan passes through critical states; the battered relationship with eastern and western world may not be deemed as a compliant and desirable legacy. Some of NATO countries eager to contribute in rebuilding Afghanistan aren’t pleased with ongoing stalemate for security deal, which in turn erodes their resolve to contribute.
