Collusion between high-level Afghan officials and the Taliban (banned in Central Asia and considered terrorist) was a major factor behind the Taliban’s swift victory, Tajik political scientist Parviz Mullojanov believes.

In his opinion, there are no insoluble contradictions between the two countries, political will is needed to resolve the problems that have arisen on the border. Much also depends on the civil society of the two countries, which must seek peace and compromise. (more…)
