Abstract
A sad state of affairs prevails in Afghanistan toady due to outsiders’ meddling in its internal affairs. It is indeed unsettling to note that outsides – the US, Pakistan, India for instance – continue to abuse weaknesses of Afghans to preserve self-serving geopolitics. It is because of such politics that Afghan people have consistently been deprived of deserving golden opportunity to put their own house in order, as they wish. Surprisingly short-sighted Afghan leaders have acted as collaborates and offered Afghan territory to outsides in the hope that it would preserve existing power relations. This is what actually made the job (nation-building from within) difficult and common Afghans are paying the “high” price and Afghanistan now looks like ‘a theater of absurd’. The most significant imperative Afghan people need at this juncture is a complete end to outside interference in their internal affairs. However this seems to be too much for us – the peoples living outside Afghanistan
