The big question is this, will there be a new civil war? I think since a lot has changed, and since the iranians are also very friendly with the chinese,. The iranians have also been talking to afghanistan for ten years, and relations are good. They're feeling very strong at the present time. So collectively, china, parkestan and iran could help restore ganistan. And let's hope they do so.

Legendary socialist scholar Tariq Ali on the long history of Afghanistan: the 19th and early 20th-century wars against the British Empire; the communist coup, Soviet invasion, and US-backed mujahideen war; the rise of the Taliban; and the 2001 US-led NATO invasion through the recent US defeat and withdrawal. Plus, a lot about Pakistan.
