Part 13/13:
Conclusion: The Need for Vigilance and Realistic Policy
Afghanistan’s saga illustrates the perils of geopolitical complacency. The country’s strategic value for terror networks remains high, and the apparent defeat was superficial. The world faces a long-term challenge — one that requires recognizing the deep-rooted resilience of extremist ideologies and taking decisive, well-informed action.
Failure to do so risks turning Afghanistan once more into a nightmare of chaos and terror, with global ramifications that could surpass even the horrors of 9/11.
Stay alert. Stay vigilant. The threat is not over.
