अमेरिका की नाकामी का नतीजा
July 16 , 2021 Arvind Gupta, Director, VIF
Views: 1119
अफगानिस्तान आज जिस संकट से जूझ रहा है, वह अमेरिका और तालिबान के दोहा समझौते की नाकामी का नतीजा है। तालिबान ने कभी संघर्ष विराम नहीं किया और न ही सत्ता साझा करने की उसकी कभी मंशा रही। नतीजतन, अफगानिस्तान से अमेरिकी फौज की रवानगी के साथ उसकी हिंसा बढ़ती गई। माना जा रहा है कि अफगानिस्तान के करीब 150 जिलों पर तालिबान का कब्जा है और अपना प्रभाव बढ़ाने की जुगत में वह है। फिर भी, यह कहना गलत होगा कि आने वाले दिनों में अफगानिस्तान की नागरिक सरकार बेअसर हो जाएगी और पूरे मुल्क पर तालिबान का कब्जा हो जाएगा।

Why it is Important for Japan to hold Olympic Games 2021
July 16 , 2021 Dr Anil Rawat
Article Views: 1131
Had it not been for the COVID-19 and Abe Shizo’s ill health, Tokyo Olympic 20201 would have been a crowning glory on the political career of modern Japan’s most consequential Prime Minister. Alas! That was not to be. Showcasing Japan as the world’s great ‘Soft Power’ on global scale was the dream of Abe Shinzo ever since he won at ‘Rio 2016’ the rights to organize Olympic 2020 in Tokyo. Remembering 1964, the golden 60s, Japan went ecstatic about the decision.

The Taliban on the Offensive in Afghanistan Ahead of the US Withdrawal
July 15 , 2021 Dr Anwesha Ghosh
Article Views: 1261
The foreign troops are leaving Afghanistan after twenty years of war. The US President surprised many by bringing forward the end of operation to August 31; he however, excluded nearly 650 troops for offering security for the US embassy in Kabul. Earlier in his April 13 announcement, President Biden had stated that all the troops will be pulled out of Afghanistan by the twentieth anniversary of 9/11. Recent developments in Afghanistan indicate, a resurgent Taliban is quickly filling the power vacuum that is being left behind due to pulling out of foreign troops.
