This was an amazing piece of work. πŸ‘πŸ‘ Really well laid out, despite the huge amount of intricacies involved. Clarifies the goings on in Afghanistan to the extent that it can be done. I think the place simply does not afford you any further clarity.

Great work. My compliments... 😊

Thanks so much, Sadanand! Making sense of Afghanistan history and events is indeed very hard and specifically to do it without ascribing titles and intentions to different players, because nothing is permanent or even common sense. For example, Dostum allied with and fought against Taliban, Hekmatayar, and Massoud. So tough to know who was what and why? πŸ™‚

Were it not so grim, would have laughed heartily. But yes, one gets that sense very clearly from your work.

Instructive stuff... πŸ‘

I agree. It is such a sad situation. At the end of the day, the Afghans are human beings whose lives have been played with.

Thanks for your kind words buddy πŸ™
