Why were Tajiks recently picked to act as terrorists and by whom?
The US/NATO bloc is counting on Pashtun extremists for their imminent destabilisation agenda in Central Asia – aimed at containing China and Russia and eventually subjugating their populations, up to and including direct military confrontation.
All attempts to coerce the majority of the non-Pashtun population into accepting an "Afghan" identity have failed so far. But coercion was not the real reason for this failure.
Why the Taleban do not apply their culture of negotiation to their foreign policy boils down to a question of (in)ability and (un)willingness.
Seeing the transition that the Green Party has made from its beginnings and the values it held at the time to what it became today, one cannot help but ask: What actually turned what was once an anti-war, anti-NATO party into a bellicose, pro-NATO party?
It looks like Pakistani elites have been fatally mistaken about the Taleban and Afghanistan. Pakistani policy has always defined Afghanistan as its strategic depth. It is into the abyss of this "depth" that Pakistan now risks plunging.
The US and the West may have been condemned and blamed for what they ultimately wreaked on Afghanistan… yet, all that happens in Afghanistan continues to be seen, interpreted, and disseminated largely from a Western neoliberal point of view.
Rumors are circulating of a coup being plotted by some elements of the Taleban.
This time the division was a deeply emotionalized, spiteful, and misanthropic question of faith: pro-vaccination groups vs. anti-vaccination groups; authority loyalists vs. authority skeptics.
"...a certain degree of division is arguably present in all societies and is a constant in human history." Here is how this applies to Germany.
