Afghanistan, Taliban and the Al-Qaida – A Brief History
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
The Conflict in Afghanistan shows no end in sight and ethnic strife and terrorism continue to plague the country and its nascent government. Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries such as Pakistan, Iran and India have interests in the region and continue to influence the affairs in Afghanistan since the fall of Zahir Shah’s government. The nature of each country’s involvement is determined by its own national ideology and ethos. To complicate affairs further non-regional powers’ involvement such as USSR and now the USA provokes the fiercely independent Afghans and provides an excuse for regional powers to intervene. Historically, therefore, superpower involvement only acts as a catalyst for regional powers’ actions in the strategically located country. The reasons, however, for over forty years Afghans continue to be molded by foreign influence rather than by their own national interests can be confusing at times. This article attempts to briefly understand the historical background of the Afghan crises, the developments since the 9/11 attacks and its future prospects which is essential to regional stability and security.
