Top U.S. General Says Civil War 'Likely' In Afghanistan And A Surge In Terror Groups

Newsweek: Gen. Mark Milley Says Civil War 'Likely' in Afghanistan, 'Growth' in Terror Groups 

General Mark Milley has said that a civil war in Afghanistan is "likely" following the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country and this could lead to a growth in terror groups. 

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke to Fox News's Jennifer Griffin during a visit to Ramstein in Germany on Saturday. 

There is a major U.S. airbase there that's currently processing Afghan evacuees. 

His remarks about a possible civil war come as the Taliban is attempting to consolidate its position in Afghanistan but is facing resistance from opposition fighters in the Panjshir Valley. 

Milley was asked if he believed the U.S. was safer following the troop drawdown and said it was too early to say. 

"My military estimate is...that the conditions are likely to develop of a civil war," the general said. "I don't know if the Taliban is gonna be able to consolidate power and establish governance. They may be, maybe not," he said.
