Politics of Afghan Future

"The contemporary Afghanistan war has almost yielded similar outcomes of the nearer as well as distant past of the mid and late twentieth century. A mountainous land and harsh weathered people, once considered the most modern nation of Southasia in 1960s, were forced to refuge back into paganism. In yesteryears, it was horned between socialists and the capitalists. Today, it is attempting the survival and reconstruction amid the troubled waters. Afghanistan's journey has just begun with the stable and transparent most general elections of the country's history held in 2014, which according to independent sources, has gathered highest ever voter turnout. Yet, the times have to witness the edges of stability in the worst, if not greatest, human debacle of the modern history."
