Very few people thought it would be so rapid a month ago. The Taliban’s suppression of Kabul in Afghanistan, which shook the world.
I have many friends and acquaintances in Afghanistan. Before and after the suppression of Kabul, my friends and acquaintances who felt dangerous started to send me a message close to screaming on my Facebook page. There are many serious contents such as “I can’t get out of my house” and “There is a risk that the Internet will be blocked”.
Although I was able to move as a writer, I can’t reach out at this point, and I feel lonely.
Women’s human rights suppression, excessive Islamic policies, Nobel Peace Prize-winning Malala Yousafzai’s sniper. The world is afraid to recreate the terrorist politics of 20 years ago.
In this article, I would like to examine what will happen to the situation in Afghanistan in the future.
I would like to point out two important points when considering the future situation.
First, the Taliban’s expansion in Afghanistan was triggered by US support in the early stages. This historical fact lays an important hint on the relationship between the world and the United States and the Middle East. As we will see later, US military shouldering has had little negative consequences for the United States.
The source of the current turmoil in Afghanistan is the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. In Afghanistan, a buffer state, the Soviet Union feared that Islamic political forces would grow and ignite the Soviet Union’s Central Asian countries.
