Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) And here is a new beginning for a Stage Purple State. It's Official. Talks are being held for TRANSFER of power from Ghani Government to the Taliban Government. And here is a link to the wikipedia article of a Taliban Leader stating him as Current President of Afghanistan. (Now Corrected) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Ghani_Baradar Can't wait for next episode of Afghanistan haha (hoping no one dies). China Investments, Effect on Pashtun Tribal Areas of Pakistan, Kashmir, Xinjiang and most important, ISIS's possible new home.

Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) The Taliban actually put an end to some ethnic Afghan warlord tribal practices like child pedophilia and slavery in some rural areas of Afghanistan when they actually held onto power between 1996 and 2001. They are certainly above the tribal stages as a political religious movement and seek more to be a Pashtun unifying force for all of Afghanistan to subject it under one religious order. They are more of a transitiory stage between Red and Blue in my opinion since their strict and fundamentalist interpretation of Sunni Islam is very similar to the one that was present in Saudi Arabia and aims to subjugate the country and evolve it under that sort of order.

It may seem a stage blue, but in my opinion, it is still a country of warlords, using religion to bend it's rules to their own convenience. The transition may happen to a Stage Blue in a few decades, or just Stage Orange if China invests a ton due to Belt initiative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
