Psychological bludgeoning: Insuperable terra and the resurgence of Taliban; A melody of conflict or peace?

Abstract

Since the dawn of human civilization various lands have remained, either a source of conflict or being brutally muzzled amid
other contesting powers. Both situations are equally lethal and lead towards desolation. War is the most widespread currency in
international relations. Humans, right from their inception are somehow in conflict with each other over various interests. These
interests might be to increase influence, build strength, to defend sovereignty or all of them with a motive of an overall
dominance. The thing, which is very much common among these struggles and conflicts is the significance of geography. These
overarching events have always happened over those fault lines, junctures and terrains which are of an utmost importance. Just for
instance: the events like, religious wars of 17th century, two world wars and the cold war of 20th century were mainly fought on
mainland Europe, Mediterranean and south Asia. Just like these regions, Afghanistan has remained a grass under various fighting
mammoths for centuries. There are multiple factors which have tremendously contributed while increasing the fragility and
instability of this land. The ferocious invasions, inter-ethnic tussles, civil wars, illiteracy and foreign interventions are among
those factors which never allowed this land to experience a tantalizing environment. This piece of research will mainly be
focusing on the recent withdrawal of foreign forces and the lightening takeover of Taliban over whole country. The discussion
will subsequently be followed by those possible challenges that might arouse after this sudden power shift. The paper also
attempts to analyze the psychological and strategical impact of this staggering development over the region and what can be the
possible role of major stakeholders which are strongly tied with this land in strategic-knot.
