Afghanistan will remain dependent on international donors and foreign aid even after reaching a peace agreement with the Taliban, says the report of Washington’s Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR), AP reported.

The head of SIGAR, John F. Sopko called on politicians to plan for the “day after,” saying that the peace agreement would not automatically resolve the crises in Afghanistan.

“If that peace is to be sustainable, it will come at an additional price that only external donors can afford,” Sopko said.

The report notes that major concerns include instability, underdeveloped civil policing capability, widespread corruption, sluggish economy, drug trafficking controlled by the Taliban, and threats to women's rights.

In recent months, Trump's administration has stepped up efforts to resolve the 17-year war in Afghanistan. The US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad conducted several rounds of peace talks with the Taliban, noting progress in the negotiations.

But, despite the negotiations, the Taliban are making almost daily attacks on Afghan forces, and hold sway over half of the country. They also refuse to talk directly with the government in Kabul, considering it a puppet of the United States.

If a peace agreement is concluded, another problem would be the reintegration of up to 60,000 armed Taliban fighters and their families back to Afghan society, SIGAR noted.

It is expected that donor countries will finance approximately 51 percent of Afghanistan’s public expenditures in the amount of $ 5 billion. However, the Afghan government’s capabilities are generally weak and it often lacks the capacity to manage and account for donor funds.
