Washington, Jan 18 : Acknowledging his government’s ‘almost absolute’ dependence on the US, President Ashraf Ghani has said the Afghan National Army will not last more than six months on its own.
But Gen John Nicholson, the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, said in the same programme that with America’s new strategy and with increased US pressure on Pakistan to cooperate, he was certain he could win Washington’s longest war, which was now in its 16th year.
Mr Ghani was speaking in an interview to a television show CBS 60 Minutes, broadcast earlier this week, Pakistan daily Dawn reported.
