When we refer to the stability of the country, we mean politics, and government, which must first be accepted and of course tolerated by most of the population to then proceed to the construction of a basic Rule of Law state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of this is to start mobilizing across the spectrum of society any economic activities that will give work and income to the citizens of the country at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">by<strong> Thanos S.

The Taliban leadership now knows that the international community has the potential to impose a regime of suffocation (political, economic, social) on a government and at the same time undermine it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why the future course of the Taliban will show whether they believe in this adjustment which they show they have adopted and that it is not a political tactic to reduce the pressure on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue for the Taliban leadership is the disarmament of the entire movement and all the factions of Afghanistan, so that they can first ensure the cohesion of their movement, while at the same time imposing their moderate policy on their members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-80.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5454\"\/><figcaption><strong>Taliban&#8217;s leadership is expecting to announce their government <\/strong><br>Photo by the website www.voanews.com <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The International Community<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The international community, which is none other than the great powers of the world and the countries neighboring Afghanistan, wants stabilization inside Afghanistan, whether the Taliban rule or not, and provided that their own interests and that of any government are not affected. Afghanistan follows its own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US does not want Afghanistan in China&#8217;s sphere of influence (see analysis entitled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/?p=5317\">Realpolitik from China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey to Taliban\u2019s Afghanistan<\/a>\u201d). China wants Afghanistan for rare earths and the completion of the China Economic Corridor- Afghanistan-Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia wants to stabilize and control Central Asia and fear the export of jihadist movements from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the large number of major powers involved in and interested in stabilizing Afghanistan, it allows the Taliban to maneuver using the powerful for their own benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if one or more of these forces that want to stabilize Afghanistan notices in the process that its interests are not being served then it will perpetuate a controlled or generalized chaos of destabilization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The return of the Taliban to the leadership of Afghanistan after the withdrawal of the US raises reasonable questions whether the Taliban can give&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[836,3],"tags":[1210,1301,2841,2839,2840,1211],"class_list":["post-5452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia-geopolitical","category-geopolitical","tag-afghanistan","tag-government","tag-international-community","tag-regime","tag-stability","tag-taliban"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5452"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5548,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5452\/revisions\/5548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
