Welcome to Afghanistan, Commander Massoud’s country of impassable mountains – the land's "rough" geography is the key to explaining its tribal and ethnic diversity as well as its fierce desire for independence.

Afghan history is also filled with accidents, characterized by an almost permanent state of war:  from colonial rivalry between England and Russia to the Soviet invasion and the following American intervention after the attacks of 9/11; meanwhile the backdrop for these events was the complicated relationship with neighboring Pakistan, the key and destructive role of the Taliban and today you also have to add the Islamic State's rise to prominence.
