Afghan President Hamid Karzai has called on the international community to set a timeline to end the war in Afghanistan. Karzai said, “This war has gone on for seven years. The Afghans don’t understand anymore how come a little force like the Taliban can continue to exist, can continue to flourish, can continue to launch attacks.” Karzai also accused the US and other foreign countries of creating a “parallel government” in parts of Afghanistan.
