Description
Byline: Simbal Khan All through its long and varied history, Afghanistan, due to its unique geo political attributes, has had a profound impact on developments within the countries of the South and Central Asian regions. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, the 1979 Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan set into motion a cycle of war and chaos, which in turn has wrought critical changes within the geo-political environment of Afghanistan. The Soviet intervention was challenged by a number of interlinked forces - local Afghan, regional and international. The activation of these new forces and the trans-national functional linkages that enabled them to operate were to have a transformative impact on the whole region.
