The Afghanistan Study Group has released a final report outlining a new pathway for peace in the country. The report argues that the current approach to the conflict has been unsuccessful and that a new strategy is needed. The group suggests that the US should focus on supporting the Afghan government and military, while also working with regional powers to reduce the influence of extremist groups. The report also calls for increased diplomatic efforts and a focus on economic development. The co-chairs of the study group, Kelly Ayotte and Joseph Dunford, say that the US has a national interest in stabilizing Afghanistan and that the current approach is not working. The report concludes that a new strategy is needed to bring peace to the country.
