Afghan and Pakistani history 1980s to present

[Cora Merle Seraph]

Have an interest in it to appreciate my friend the m-word has came up with background more . Anyone willing to discuss with me go ahead and talk away. Otherwise if you can point out any good english language books and websites on such it would be much appreciated.


I Know alot about pakistan and afghanistan things and war cause ive worked with it, but few things ive forget,
Well Afghanistan in the 70s or 80s a unreligiouse country,
People used to sing,go out, that time everything was free but it was also religiouse...Not until 90s
i think...Than many Talibans make it worse and bla bla,
But it wasnt only talibans , it was the country..

You wanna know about the Soviet attack on Afghanistan? or wut?

Pakistan, all what happens is that their population got 3 tiems bigger xD

^^ I suppose that would be useful for me to know and less arkward to find out from a book then from my friend who fled Afghanstain when the Russians invaded then eventually ended up of all places Russia for most of thier life.

Actually u know the story of taliban right? Soviets attacked, Afghans made mujahideen(taliban) and stuff. Then many afghans went to Pakistan.

Russia just attacked Afghanistan cuz it was a strategic good place.  

[An Ineffable Conclusion]

Thats a little bit off, Pathan. The Soviets did attack Afghanistan, but it was the Americans [a lot of books like to skip over this fact.] who armed and trained the Mujahideen to fight against Russia for political reasons. When the Soviets were driven out, the Mujahideen banned together and created the Taliban with the weapons and training they acquired from America. Though some went to Pakistan, most of them fled to Germany, like my own parents. That's why Germany has a large population of Afghans.

Hehehe...i am from afghanistan  

[The_Pathan]

My family did not flee. They got married and moved and stuff like that. It wasn't war.

The Taliban is 1 clan of many clans trying to rule Afghanistan. 'n' they kill people (soldiers) who come on their way.

Well,whatever it was.The war of 1970's is what causing this whole mess in Pakistan.All Thanks to America and somewhat Soviet Union.Biggest part of this conspiracy goes to America none the less and Pakistan's very own General Zia-Ul-Haq for allying himself with the Americans. - w-
