Extractions: Located just northwest of the modern day India, Afghanistan has long served as the northwestern border and gateway for the Indian civilization. Various Indian emperors have ruled the region over the last 3,000 years and its close relations with the rest of India have been well documented by historians. The Hindukush Mountains in the west and Himalayas in the north and northeast served as the borders for India; Afghanistan was an integral part of the Indian kingdoms at various times during its history. In the fourth century B.C.E., Taxila and Kandahar formed important centers of commerce and education for the empire of Ashoka the Great. In fact, Taxila was one of the first universities to be founded in India. In those days, the entire region of today's Afghanistan and northern Pakistan was called Gandhar, after which an important stream of Indian art painting and sculptures has been named. The area was also an important center for Buddhism in its early days and several ancient statues of Buddha and other artifacts of Buddhism are still found in the region.

Extractions: Back to Index Everyone is talking about Afghanistan, but before September 11, most Americans did not even know where it is. Our knowledge of that whole area is very thin. I erred when I said that the Pashtuns used to be called Parthians. In fact they were Pathans, a neighboring tribe. What the relationship is between these two tribes with almost identical names in I do not know. I suspect that they may be the same. Today the Pathans are known as Pashtu in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In all, the Pathans constitute one of the largest tribal groupings in the world. Ronald Hilton - 11/23/01

Extractions: Located on the road between the central Asia and Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan has been frequently a theater of fierce battles between powerful neighbors to extend their zone of influence. It was the case of a dispute between Russia and England in 19th century and between USSR and USA during the cold war. But due to its mountainous geography and multi ethnic racial composition that goes beyond the frontier with neighboring countries, Afghanistan can be easily destabilized by a guerilla war even if you win the first dispute. After the retreat of Soviet troops from Afghanistan in 1989, followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the direct dispute between Russia and America has temporally stopped but Pakistan, fearing to be devoured by India, has not stop to extend its influence zone to Afghanistan. Al Qaeda attack of World Trade Center led by Osama bin Laden on September 11, 2001 forced people to suddenly realize a strategic importance of Afghanistan from the geopolitical view point. The objective of this site is giving the maximum of information on Afghanistan by tracing its historic, background that should allow you to correctly understand the current Afghan war.

Extractions: After gaining power, Daoud tried to marginalize the Parchamis and distance the government from the Soviet Union. The two factions of the PDPA reunited in 1977 and launched a coup on April 27, 1978, killing Daoud and seizing power. The PDPA government, under Khalq leadership, then embarked on a campaign of radical land reform accompanied by mass repression in the countryside that resulted in the arrest and summary execution of tens of thousands. Those targeted included political figures, religious leaders, teachers, students, other professionals, Islamist organizations, and members of ethnic minorities, particularly the Hazaras, a Shi'a minority that has long been subject to discrimination by Afghanistan's ruling elite. The government's repressive measures, particularly its attempt to reform rural society through terror, provoked uprisings throughout the country.

A NATO press release called its involvement a "groundbreaking operation" and "the Alliance’s first mission beyond the Euro-Atlantic area." launched the war in Afghanistan had sent troops earlier than 2003 as part of a United Nations-mandated force (the International Security Assistance Force), which was created in late December 2001 and was charged primarily with maintaining security in and around Kabul.

Extractions: A Brief History of Afghanistan: By Adam Ritscher This was delivered as a speech at a Students Against War teach-in in Duluth, Minnesota (USA) The story of Afghanistan is in so many ways a very tragic one. Afghanistan is one of the most impoverished nations of the world. It is one of the most war-torn, most ravaged, and most beleaguered of nations. It is a nation that has been beset by invasion, external pressure and internal upheaval since before the time of Alexander the Great. Its people are a people who have endured more than most of us can ever imagine. In fact, for many Afghanis, all that has changed in the last one thousand years are the weapons which have been used against so many of them. It is therefore with great sadness and respect that I tell the story of Afghanistan. First of all, who are the Afghanis? Afghanistan has historically been the link between Central Asia, the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent. It is therefore a nation made up of many different nationalities � the result of innumerable invasions and migrations. Within its current borders there are at least a dozen major ethnic groups � Baluch, Chahar Aimak, Turkmen, Hazara, Pashtun, Tajik, Uzbek, Nuristani, Arab, Kirghiz, Pashai and Persian. Historically the Pashtun nationality has been the most dominant. The term Afghan, for example, generally is viewed by other peoples in the country to refer to the Pashtuns. The royal families of the country were Pashtun, and today the Pashtun represent about 50% of the total population. Tajiks come in second with 25%, and the rest make up considerably smaller percentages.
