"I was surprised that I didn't hear that he was talking about other players, which was not very realistic, because I believe it's not these multiple players. I can see more than 10 players. They're engaged in intelligent war in Afghanistan. That's not easy to overcome the challenge overnight."

"But if you see in details that you know something is wrong with the details, and this is against the general statement or against those things that are required for regional stability. So I think this will be a negative point. But we'll look to the details, [and] what the details come from this strategy."

The new Afghanistan strategy proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump might not work to solve the ongoing crisis in the Asian country, said political analysts Tuesday in the capital Kabul.
US President Donald Trump unveiled his new strategy on Afghanistan Monday night in a national address, calling a rapid exit of the U.S. troops from Afghanistan "unacceptable" and pledging a shift from a time-based approach to one based on conditions.
President Trump also pressurized the Pakistani government and called it to make more efforts to fight terrorist organizations, and encouraged India to play a role in the peace progress in Afghanistan.
Some political analysts said Trump's speech did not take the complex geopolitics involved in the region into consideration.
"I was surprised that I didn't hear that he was talking about other players, which was not very realistic, because I believe it's not these multiple players. I can see more than 10 players. They're engaged in intelligent war in Afghanistan. That's not easy to overcome the challenge overnight," said Naeem Ayubzada, an Afghan political analyst in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV).
In his speech, President Trump said the U.S. troops will "fight to win" in Afghanistan. He pledged to fight against extremist groups, al-Qaeda network and the Taliban, a strategy that was also adopted by his predecessor's administration and proved to be not working.
Ayubzada said the strategy failed to recognize the various armed groups in Afghanistan.
"Practically, it's very difficult for his administration, because in Afghanistan, it's not one group to fight with, it's not two groups; it's multiple groups working in Afghanistan, supported by different countries," Ayubzada said.
Other analysts said the new strategy will be deterrent to the extremist groups, but its exact effect remained unknown since more details are not yet being announced.
"If you see in details that you know something is wrong with the details, and this is against the general statement or against those things that are required for regional stability. So I think this will be a negative point. But we'll look to the details, [and] what the details come from this strategy," said Enayat Nasir, political analyst.
Former U.S. President George W. Bush ordered to dispatch U.S. troops to fight the war in Afghanistan in October 2001, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It has been reported that about 2,400 U.S. soldiers have died in Afghanistan since then.
