Afghanistan and Pakistan: Between Global Terrorism and Tribal Traditionalism

Mladen Nakić ; Center for International Studies, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Even after the death of Osama bin Laden, the problem of stability of Afghanistan and the region cannot be seen only from a political and/or military-security aspect. It is of key importance to have in mind the cultural and historical heritage of the local people. The problem of their boundaries is directly linked to allegations of Afghanistan at the expense of Pakistan to tolerate rebels on its soil and encouraging them to destabilize Kabul. On the other hand, it is believed that lslamabad does not want a stable situation in Afghanistan, because it would then reset the Pashtun question and renew the Afghan-Indian alliance against Pakistan.
