The nightmare of ending a long war. Afghanistan 2021 relaunches terrorism and civil war in Central Asia

Summary/Abstract: The long war – also called the forever war, the never ending war – is a nightmare for any democracy: leaders are inheriting a war with specific rational, need to drag it over the mandate, taking the costs and trying to maintain the public interest for this conflict that they pass to the next administration. The history is not particularly rewarding for leaders that end those long wars, specially when the decision come on a political bases. Errors are accumulating during this long war, from different decision makers, and the payrole passes to the last in line who is suppose to close down the combat operations and retreat the troops. In the case of Afghanistan, the end game is far from ending decades of civil war and terrorism in the region. On the contrary, the rush out and the chaos in evacuations after the departure of the American and allied soldiers leave a real infection in Central Asia, passed to the regional actors who forced America out – including by paying bounties to the Taliban in order to kill American soldiers.
