How Afghanistan Civil Society Is Courageously Resisting The Taliban

Prof. Ijaz Khan

Friday Times  29 December 2021

The Taliban have taken control of Afghanistan. US and NATO have left after being defeated. The Afghan National Army has collapsed, though there is some resistance in Panjsher.

 

Regional and world powers are adjusting to these facts for a new geopolitical setting in Afghanistan. But what is new about these facts? Violent changes with outsiders supporting different parties has always been the history of Afghanistan.
