Further research subsequently reinforced that impression. Much of the material on which the book is based was collected in the course of my 1979 field trip which took me to India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom as well as Afghanistan and during a follow-up trip to India and Pakistan from December 1980 to January 1981. Unfortunately by then times had changed and on this second occasion the Afghan government refused me a visa. Texts of speeches and statements by Afghan leaders and other Afghan government documents have for the most part been taken from the Kabul Times, since these are in effect the official version. I have however taken the liberty where necessary of adjusting the syntax of the Afghan translator. The problem of transliteration is inescapable, and at the risk of offending the purists I have chosen what appears to be the simplest spelling of Afghan names and have tried to be consistent.

  • The Syrian Civil War: a Proxy War in the 21St Century a Senior Research Thesis California State University Maritime Academy Felipe I
    1 The Syrian Civil War: A Proxy War in the 21st Century A Senior Research Thesis California State University Maritime Academy Felipe I. Rosales The Syrian Civil War: A Proxy War in the 21st Century 2 Abstract The Syrian Civil War is one of the most devastating conflicts of the 21st century and the cause of the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history. It stems between the ruling Al-Assad Regime and a series of opposition rebel groups. The Assad Regime has had the backing of this historical ally, the Russian Federation. Rebel forces have had the continued backing from a collation between western nations, led by the United States. The purpose of this thesis is to determine if the Syrian Civil War was a proxy war between the United States and Russia, and to determine what it means for the future of US-Russia relations. SInce the end of the Second World War and the rise of the nuclear deterrent, war by proxy has become a common strategy used by larger powers. If the Syrian Civil War is truly a proxy war between the United States and Russia, it brings to question the validity of the end of the Cold War. By comparing it to previous Cold War-era proxy wars, we can derive the features that make up a proxy war and apply them to the Syrian Civil War. This thesis uses several precious proxy wars as case studies. These include the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Afghan-Soviet War. While each of these was a very different war, they each share a handful of similarities that make them Proxy Wars.

  • Saur Revolution/Coupd'etet and Its Impacts on Pashtun Society
    TAKATOO Issue 9 Volume5 9 January – June 2013 Saur Revolution/ Coupd’ete t and its impacts on Pashtun Society 1 Prof. Dr. Nasrullah Wazir Abstract: The scintillation which took place in Afghanistan on 28 th April, 1978. That has been named by some segments of society as Saur Revolution and others depict it only as Saur takeover. Both internal and externally multifarious contradictory views have come into the limelight after the revolution. However, the revolutionists or devotees of revolution have declared it the wistful aspiration of the masses; but the opposition proclaims it the takeover or Coupd’etet of some military Generals. In a net shell, this change has brought multifaceted miseries, displacements and migration, mass level killings of innocent civilians, destruction of the institutions of the state and the obliteration of the scholastic and literary sources and spaces. This paper unveils the causes and effects of the revolution. The research paper constructs its argument in light of diverse perspectives including Politicians, Experts, Ulema, Historians and those who were directly or indirectly the part of the uprising. Revolution OR Coupd’etet . All members of the Peoples Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) acknowledged real aims of their political endeavors, to bring likeminded system in Afghanistan which they imported from the foreign; while bringing it into practical life. They first intended to lay down foundation of political party and kept struggling through political ways. The foundation of a Leftist Political Party was laid down in January, 1965 of which the basic objectives were political, social and reformatory. The changes which the (PDPA) intended to introduce in Afghanistan through 1 Dr Nasurullah Jan Wazeer is Professor at Department of Pashto University of Balochsitan Quetta TAKATOO Issue 9 Volume5 10 January – June 2013 political and literary ways were deemed as essential tools of their struggle.

  • The Afghan Communists
    chaPter one the afghan communists shibirghan, the caPital of Jowzjan Province, is a remote and barren place, even by Afghan standards. To the north, Jowzjan borders on the Amu Darya River and Turkmenistan, a former part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.1 Shibirghan is a city of about 150,000 on a flat, dry plain that extends past the river into Central Asia. Most of the city’s population is made up of ethnic Uzbeks, with a minority of Turkmen; the province as a whole is 40 percent Uzbek and 30 percent Turkmen. Natu- ral gas has been exploited in the province since the 1970s, initially by a Soviet energy project. Shibirghan is on the Afghan ring road, the country’s main highway, which connects the country’s main cities. Shibirghan lies between the largest city in the north, Mazar-e Sharif, to the east and the largest city in the west, Herat. Since the 1980s Shibirghan has been the stronghold of Abdul Rashid Dostum, an Uzbek Afghan warlord who has played a complex role in the wars that have wracked Afghanistan since 1978. In 1998 Dostum was my host during a visit to Shibirghan. I had met him before, in my Pentagon office, where he had related his life’s journey to me. A physically strong and imposing man, he has an Asian appearance, a hint of his Mongol roots. That day he was dressed to look like a modern political leader, in a suit and tie. The notorious warlord was hosting a meeting of the North- ern Alliance, the coalition of Afghan parties that opposed the Taliban, in his hometown.
