U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl W. Eikenberry Afghan President Hamid Karzai criticized for likening the US-led military action in the country with an "occupation".
Eikenberry did not directly criticize the statement made by Karzai commented that the Afghan leader had made "hurtful and inappropriate" following a statement from Karzai who equate the U.S. military action in Afghanistan with the act of "colonialism," AFP reported.
"When we hear ourselves called colonizers and comments are bad, our pride and our offense started to lose our inspiration to continue the mission," Eikenberry said in a statement.
U.S. envoy statement comes in response to a series of comments made by the president of Afghanistan, particularly the statement last month that the U.S. presence in Afghanistan could be considered an "occupation force" if the attacks continue to kill civilians living in these Asian countries.
The death of tens of thousands of Afghan civilians as a result of NATO attacks and the U.S. military operation since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 has sparked tensions between Karzai and his Western allies.
Despite the presence of about 150,000 head of foreign troops in Afghanistan, the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan over the last few years.
