Welcome to #AFGPanel! On March 23, @StateDept released a statement “On the Political Impasse in #Afghanistan” in which the US expressed its “deep regrets” that Afghan leaders @ashrafghani & @DrabdullahCE haven’t been able to form an inclusive govt. 1/n

Statement: “Because this leadership failure poses a direct threat to US national interests, effective immediately, the US government will initiate a review of the scope of our cooperation with #Afghanistan.” #AFGPanel 2/n
That “review” entails the immediate reduction of US aid to #Afghanistan by $1B, a possible additional $1B cut next year, & the possibility of further reductions in US pledges at future donor conferences. #AFGPanel 3/n
