The Trump administration has ordered the military to start withdrawing roughly 7,000 troops from Afghanistan in the coming months.    A new shift in the 17-year-old war.

The decision stunned Afghan officials, who said they had not been briefed on the plans.

Pakistan working to fence its 1,400 km (870 miles) frontier with Afghanistan and deploy a 50,000- paramilitary force along the border.
Afghan refugees and illegal migrants will not be allowed to set up illegal homes in Pakistan."
Afghanistan is already the world's second biggest source of refugees.
Iranian officials in Kabul said they fear a sudden U.S. troop withdrawal could reverse that trend of deporting migrants from  Iran 
Afghanistan does not share a land border with Turkey. In 2018, Turkish police say they intercepted 90,000 Afghans who were trying to enter the country with fake documents or with the help of traffickers, double the number in 2017.
As negotiations over the future of the country gather momentum, the Taliban have been trying to reassure Afghans that they have nothing to fear after foreign forces leave.
All of a sudden, all these countries are unhappy with the US withdrawal..!!!
