US Removal from Afghanistan is Only Part of the Solution to the Region’s Problems

On the External Factor of the Afghan Problem

Recent events around and on the territory of Afghanistan strengthen the author’s opinion that a positive solution to the problem of this nation is possible only based on the formation of a more or less coherent “orchestra,” including China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran and, of course, the new leadership of Afghanistan itself.
