Will Afghanistan's future depend on Pakistan? | Video

Kabul, May 19 (EFE/EPA).- Pakistan is emerging as a possible arbiter of Kabul's fate amid fragile peace talks, the specter of a new civil war, and looming uncertainty over Afghanistan's future following the withdrawal of the United States and NATO forces.

On Sep.11, the US and NATO troops will conclude their pullout from the Afghan soil after 20 years, leading to fears of a new civil war between the Afghan government and the Taliban, a traditional ally of Islamabad.

In the 1990s, the Taliban took control of Afghanistan with Pakistan's support. Since the fall of the Islamist regime in 2001, Washington and Kabul have repeatedly accused Islamabad of supporting the insurgents. (Camera: ARCHIVE).
