AMERICA'S ROLE TO BRING PEACE AND STABILITY IN AFGHANISTAN UNDER TRUMP ERA

Published 2022-05-29

Abstract

The America and the Taliban discussions have created much interest amidst strategic experts in the region and ahead. There are pieces of evidence that the Taliban solidifies their stance as America looks in a hurry to withdraw its troops. This paper discusses the highly grumpy politics in Afghanistan and the predominant culture of misgovernance, corruption, lawlessness and brutality. It is crucial to entail multiple ethnicities, areas and militant groups of all specters, including dissident groups within the Taliban, to ensure that the postSoviet withdrawal structure of all-against-all does not materialize again, jeopardizing anticipation of peace and security in the coming years. At the zonal level, states having interests in Afghanistan must be entangled in a separate discussion to prevent the prospect of acting as a spoiler. Managing discussions would involve mature bargaining and efficient and firm signalling from America. It reinforces the values that promote human dignity, individual liberty and inclusive democracy through effective advocacy of liberally mediated interpreted religious and cultural principles that enjoy a greater degree of acceptability in Afghan society.
