Assistant Director, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Col Rajeev Agarwal’s article ‘The Taliban Takeover in Afghanistan: Who Is Really to Blame?’ has been published in ‘The Diplomat’ on September 02, 2021.
It is time now for the Afghan people to come together, determine their next government, and commence yet another struggle for peace and security for their embattled nation. Only this time, it is unlikely that the United States or Russia, both bitten once, will be ready to commit to a full-scale mission to help Afghanistan any time soon, say Col. Agarwal.
