A former US commander has said America is leaving Afghanistan to face a 'bloody, brutal civil war'. General David Petraeus, 68, said that America has abandoned its duty to protect democracy and civil rights in the country. America will completely vacate Afghanistan by the end of this month and western commanders are voicing concerns of a Taliban takeover. 'The worst-case scenario is we could see a bloody, brutal civil war similar to that of the 1990s when the Taliban prevailed.' General Petraeus's warning comes as the Biden administration on Monday expanded its efforts to evacuate at-risk Afghan citizens from the country as Taliban violence increased.
