Analysis
An Assessment of the Taliban Insurgency in Afghanistan
18 June 2014

 

Abstract

This paper offers an assessment of the current situation in Afghanistan through the lens of the Taliban insurgency. As the ISAF presence decreases, the onus will shift to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) to secure the country and continue the fight against the insurgents still battling the Afghan government. Moreover, because it is a key regional actor, the actions of Pakistan and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) will be critical to the endgame of the conflict and future direction of Afghanistan. 

Colin P. Clarke, Adjunct Faculty Member at the Carnegie Mellon University. he is an associate political scientist at the RAND Corporation
