Afghanistan Peace Process: A Historical Analysis
Abstract
This paper focuses on peace efforts that have been made to bring peace in Afghanistan. The end of the conflict to bring durable peace drives from peaceful dialogues to create a win-win situation for all parties involved in the conflict. Afghanistan is a country that is in a war-like situation for the last 40 years. Thousands of men, women, children, and soldiers have been killed during this instability. The beginning of Peace Dialogues is a key step to bring durable peace in war-affected Afghanistan. Regional and International Powers are involved in the Afghan conflict. Washington, Beijing, Islamabad, and Kabul itself are the key players in the Afghan conflict. Lack of trust among all the stakeholders is the main hurdle on the way of durable peace. Internal Afghan rifts also put a big question mark for sustainable peace in Afghanistan. Taliban wants complete withdrawal of Foreign Forces. Pakistan is worried due to the Indian presence in its western border. Pakistan and Afghanistan relations have not been friendly as it was expected. China wants to explore minerals in Afghanistan and also does not like militancy in Afghanistan due to disturbances in Xinjiang Province. Washington considers the Afghan war a burden on its economy and the people of America are putting pressure on American leadership to pull out its troops from Afghanistan. Dialogue is the only solution to bring peace in Afghanistan. Peace can only prevail through a win-win situation for all stakeholders.
