Description
Afghanistan is at a crucial point in its tumultuous history. Since 1973, Afghanistan has changed regimes frequently, and has been led by eight different leaders. Instability and war has caused widespread devastation, insecurity, displacement, poverty and severe environmental degradation. After the tragic events of 11 September 2001 in the United States, Afghanistan received unprecedented international attention, and the events drew strong support for the required humanitarian, political and military actions and solutions needed to put Afghanistan on the road to peace, stability, recovery and development.
