The Enquete Commission's report evaluates the failed international mission in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021, emphasizing lessons learned. Schahina Gambir, a Green Party parliamentarian, argues the mission had dire consequences, especially for women and girls after the Taliban's resurgence. Commission Chairman Michael Muller highlights the need for a comprehensive strategy in future engagements, combining military action with humanitarian aid and diplomacy. The report features over 70 recommendations, urging a more self-critical approach to international interventions to prepare Germany for future global crises.
"The 20-year mission in Afghanistan was the biggest, the most expensive and the most sacrificial mission in history."
"We need to take stock in a self-critical way," insists Muller, a Social Democrat (SPD).
"Future engagements require a formulated strategy that specifies clear, verifiable and realistic objectives."
