Representative Bill Huizenga, a Michigan Republican and chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on South and Central Asia, warned Thursday that Afghanistan has once again become a safe haven for terrorist groups, posing renewed threats to South and Central Asia and beyond, nearly four years after the U.S. military withdrawal.
Speaking during a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing titled “Assessing the Terror Threat Landscape in South and Central Asia and Examining Opportunities for Cooperation,”
Huizenga said that the Biden administration’s withdrزawal from Afghanistan in 2021 had significantly altered the region’s security dynamics.
