Former U.S. Ambassador James Cunningham has warned that Afghanistan could be plunged into civil war if the United States withdraws its forces before a meaningful peace deal is reached with the Taliban. Speaking to RFE/RL correspondent Frud Bezhan from Washington, D.C., Cunningham said a worst-case scenario would see the collapse of the Afghan government and return to civil conflict.
