New Delhi, Sep 13 (TIWN) NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has blamed Afghanistan's political and military leadership for the quick collapse of the former government.

Stoltenberg said the US and NATO are not responsible for the collapse of the former government, TOLO News reported on Sunday.  “Parts of the Afghan security forces fought bravely. But they were unable to secure the country. Because ultimately, the Afghan political leadership failed to stand up to the Taliban and to achieve the peaceful solution that Afghans desperately wanted.
