It was the culmination of a military offensive against the Afghan government that began in May 2021. The arrest occurred just hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. The majority of Afghanistan’s provincial capitals had fallen one after the other as part of a US troop withdrawal scheduled to end on August 31, 2021. Internal political turmoil, constant Taliban attacks across the country, and deadly suicide bombings by the Islamic State-Khorasan keep it busy while external nations play the New Great Game for geo-strategic ambitions both in its front yard and in its backyard. This book highlights all the ongoing issues of Afghanistan’s surge and provides the readers with insights into the country’s past, present and future.  aAfghanistan Foreign relations 2021-  cENGLISH  c525827d525827  00104070aACLbACLc7Bd2024-08-22g880.00l0o958.104 MANp672234r2024-08-22 09:55:50w2024-08-22yENGLISH  00104070aACLbACLc7Bd2024-08-22g880.00l0o958.104 MANp672235r2024-08-22 09:55:50w2024-08-22yENGLISH
