    Dialectics of the Afghanistan Conflict: How the Country Became a Terrorist Haven

    The incidents of 11 September 2001 were of monstrous dimensions, the
    like of which was never witnessed before. The attacks on the World
    Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington were unparalleled by anything seen before in peace time. It led the Americans right back
    onto the Afghan trail, where they had fought a proxy war against the Soviet Union before the communist superpower disintegrated in 1991. For a
    decade, the United States had been indifferent to the growing anarchy and
    violence in post-communist Afghanistan. But the 9/11 incidents forced
    the newly-elected President, George W Bush, to conclude that there was
    unfinished business in Afghanistan, belatedly realising that the country
    had become a sanctuary for violent groups who, he was convinced, were

    Abstract: A resurgent Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) could soon again pose a major threat to Pakistan, as underlined by a bomb attack on a luxury hotel in Quetta in April 2021 claimed bygd the group that narrowly missed endangering China’s ambassador.

Reports indicate that as the Taliban moved across southern Afghanistan in late 1994 and early 1995 they were greeted as liberators; they promised the nation's war-weary and impoverished people an end to Afghanistan's then two-year old civil war (The Economist 25 Feb.-3 Mar. 1995, 36; The Washington Post 20 Mar. 1995; Time 27 Feb. 1995, 16). By the spring of 1995 the Taliban had failed in their bid to capture Kabul and the movement reportedly began to lose some of its momentum (FEER 18 May 1995, 24).

    Background:

    With the collapse of President Muhammed Najibullah's Soviet-backed administration in April 1992, a temporary government was s
