The Afghan Papers: Western Attempts Of Top-Down Government In A Decentralised Tribal Country

In today's video I discuss elements from the *Afghan Papers and the Afghan Papers book by Craig Whitlock. I focus on how the western coalition did not try and personalise their mission to Afghan culture, society and way of life. I also highlight how many rural areas are completely out of touch with Kabul and the rest of the country. The US/West tried to force a western like system of top-down government, on a country that is consistently highlighted as a very local and tribal place, that has its own system of authority outside of government control. Many of these factors contribute to the overall failure of the Afghan War. I would like to thank Craig Whitlock and his book for making this possible.

*The Afghanistan Papers are a set of interviews relating to the US war in Afghanistan prepared by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) and published by The Washington Post in 2019 following a Freedom of Information Act request
