Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), Terrorism and Global Peace

Afghanistan has always remained a land of persistent warfare. The Afghans never bothered to focus on social development and on their welfare. The demography of Afghanistan reflects that it is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-cultural, and sectarian-based society wherein Pashtuns constitute the bulk of society. Political instability due to their mutual communal conflicts has always led to frequent changes in various regimes that also affected the social and economic sectors of Afghan society. In the post-Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the tug-of-war among different factions of ethnic-based militants led to the emergence of the Taliban (students of religious seminaries), who ruled for a short while and ended with the occurrence of the 9/11 incident. In the post-9/11 era, the global community united against the militants-led regime in Afghanistan and overthrew it with an interim government led by Karzai. Later on, Ashraf Ghani’s regime ruled the land. However, the Afghan government, America, and the allied forces surrendered before these radical elements and left the country and its people at the mercy of these militants. These militants, under the umbrella of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), established their rule. Ironically, IEA is sponsoring regional and global terrorism. It provides logistical, financial, and training assistance to these groups.
