Taliban Takeover and Implications for Southwest Asia
September 3, 2021
Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Md. Muddassir Quamar’s short commentary on the implication of the Taliban takeover on geopolitics in the Southwest Asia region, titled ‘Taliban takeover and implications for Southwest Asia’ has been published in Financial Express on September 03, 2021.
Dr Quamar argues that “The events in Afghanistan are not good news for Southwest Asia. None of the regional countries want further instability, hence have joined forces to work with Taliban and ease its return to Kabul. Nonetheless, this is easier said than done because of both Taliban proclivity for radical Islam and the geopolitical cleavages among the regional actors.”
