The Afghanistan is increasingly chaotic. Europe fears the mass arrival of Afghan refugees. Hence the activism of Mario Draghi, as the current president, to set up an extraordinary G20 in September. But to convince Joe Biden, writes Dagospiathat China, Russia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia need to be involved in the Afghan crisis is by no means easy. Indeed, to participate in the meeting of world leaders, Biden wants, first of all from the ongoing G7, a solidarity in favor of the US line.
Biden then demands from Draghi to know in advance what the position of Russia and China will be. With Putin, who fears the Afghan diaspora, the Italian premier has already spoken, while tomorrow Wednesday 25 August he will have a telephone conversation with the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping. It is obvious that the Chinese president in exchange for a possible participation in the G20 and ” support ” for the resolution of the Western states will want a counterpart, from 5G to commercial relations.
Draghi also hopes for a G20 in the presence of the leaders, Biden no, he wants it virtual. The Italian premier also speaks with Ursula von der Leyen: the initiative of the president of the EU commission to open a humanitarian corridor for Afghan refugees has already been rejected by Austria, Hungary and Slovenia. In response, von der Leyen plans to go by majority rather than unanimity. Meanwhile, Biden is in the midst of a conflict between the Pentagon which confirms the withdrawal of US forces by August 31 and the secretary of state Anthony Blinken who is against it. “He is well aware that the United States is in danger of leaving its Western allies in the middle of a road, all located on Afghan territory, well away from Kabul airport,” Dagospia recalls. Meanwhile, the Germans are negotiating with the Taliban to repatriate their troops.
