This confrontation dragged in various other countries, and divided the world into east and west. In the Middle Eastern region, Afghanistan became the boundary between the East and West, and thus suffered from tulmultuous political upheavels. The Cold War also served as the impetus which gave birth to Islamic Fundamentalism. |

A third power in the word, Islamic fundamentalism rose due to the influnce of the Cold War, and gave birth to the Islamic Republic of Iran. In december of the same year, the soviet alliance fearing that the wave of Islamic fundamentalism would spread to Afghanistan. dispatched forces to the as of yet still politically unstable Afghanistan hoping to make it a bastion of communism. |

At first, the mujahedeen were at an overwhelming disadvantange. However, receiving aid from the US, Pakistani, and several islamic governments they were able to make use of the naturally rugged and inaccesible landscape in order to continue fighting soviet allied forces. By 1989, the economic an human toll of the war forced the soviet alliance to withdraw their troops, and announce an end to the nearly 9 year period of occupation of Afghanistan. However, after the withrawal of the soviet forces, the Mujahedeen who had been engaging in various internal factional disputes, began a power struggle (civil war) in earnest, and thus Afghanistan began heading yet further down the road to ruin. |

As a result the supply of foreign aid all but disappeared, and this had a huge impact on Aghanistan and its neighboring countries. |

It seemed that this wave of rebellions would spread through the entire soviet alliance, however the countries of Central Asia were not affected. However, the declaration of independance by the Russian commonwealth sealed the destruction of the Soviet Alliance, and the states of Central Asia inevitably followed suit. The various states of Central Asia had their hands full dealing with their own internal tulmult in the wake of declaring their independance, so none of them interfered in Afghanistan's civil war.

Afghan Memo #17, Central Asian Neutrality
Following suit with the other republics, Turkmenistan declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. However, in sharp contrast to the rise of democracy and freedom in other former Soviet states, Turkmenistan developed a government ruled by a presidential dictatorship. As with Afghanistan, Turkmenistan bounders many ethnic groups in its area. It has retained its neutrality in all matters around the region, and was officially acknowledged by the UN General Assembly as a "permanently neutral nation" (like Switzerland) in 1995. Currently, Turkmenistan is avidly seeking to construct a huge pipeline across its country to exploit its vast natural resources. However, the instability of the region has been a major hinderance to its project. Afghan Memo #18, The Rise of the Taliban The word "Taliban" stems from the pluralization of the Dari (Persian) word "Tali," which translates to "seeker." Members of the Taliban consisted of former Afghani refugees who learned military tactics at Islamic religious schools called madrasas in Pakistan. In 1994, they initiated their conquests around the rural regions of Afghanistan. Their advanced guerilla tactics overwhelmed the warring mujahedeen warlords. To the eyes of many Afghanis, the Taliban was looked as a hero that would finally put an end to years of civil war and fighting. Afghan Memo #19, The Taliban Government Starting with the aid and support of Pakistan and the United States in 1994, the Taliban was able to secure an overwhelming victories against the mujahedeen. By 1996, the Taliban controlled over 70% of the region. When they captured the capital Kabul, it established its own government. However, to the dismay of the liberal and Western-minded urban residents, the newly formed Taliban government imposed a conservative state based on radical Islam.
