Afghan conflict
The Afghan conflict refers to decades of war and instability in Afghanistan, primarily involving foreign interventions and internal strife. It began in the late 20th century with the Soviet invasion in 1979, followed by a civil war, the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, and the U.S. invasion post-9/11 in 2001. The conflict involves various groups, including the Taliban and other factions, struggling for power and influence. The situation has led to humanitarian crises, displacement, and challenges in governance and development, making Afghanistan a focal point for international politics and security concerns.
