Intra-Jihadist Conflict and Cooperation: Islamic State–Khorasan Province and the Taliban in Afghanistan / Ibrahimi, Niamatullah; Akbarzadeh, Shahram   Journal Article
Akbarzadeh, Shahram Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The proliferation of jihadist groups raises intriguing questions about their internal relationship. Drawing on Resource Mobilization Theory we explore this question by examining the relationship between the Taliban and the local incarnations of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syrian (ISIS) in Afghanistan. We conceive the Taliban and ISIS as parts of a broader “jihadist movement industry” that is simultaneously united and divided by the logic of their embeddedness in the movement. While most existing research emphasizes intra-jihadist conflict or rivalry, we found that the relationship between the two groups goes through cyclical shifts, vacillating between conflict and cooperation.

Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The financial assistance of Iranian authorities to the President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai in October 2010, has once again sparked the discussion on Iranian policy towards Afghanistan. The fable of "money envelopes" which was delivered by Islamic Republic of Iran by non- diplomatic means remains a hot topic both inside and outside Afghanistan. llamid Karzai confirmed at a press conference that his chief of office receives cash between five to seven hundred thousand Euros: twice each year from Iran. Though the President of Afghanistan clari?ed that this controversial so called financial aid has been part of the' international financial support in which Iran is involved in the post- Taliban reconstruction of Afghanistan, his reply could not convince the- analysts who are experts on Iran and Afghanistan policies. The main reason that the issue became controversial has been theonedia propaganda related to this issue in which Iran is accused of providing military aid and financial support to the Taliban in Afghanistan. The seizure of two thousand oil tankers by Iranian government which resul - _ in a large anti-Iranian demonstration in Kabul against the Iran emba _ highlighted the issue. Few months before, in March 2010, Irani President Mahmud Ahmadinezhad during his visit to Kabul emphas' - y. Iran's disagreement over the presence of NATO in Afghanistan. He sai to regional peace."

Pradhan, Ramakrushna Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract A massive geopolitical churning taking place in Afghanistan will have its unprecedented implications for the South Asian region including India. Those who were concerned that the democratically elected government led by Ashraf Ghani was bad must be confirmed by now that Taliban is worst as its return has bleed the heart of Asia like never before. Although, the regime reverses in Afghanistan is a Talibani message to America but its return in many ways is a serious cause of concern for South Asia and especially India considering the history of Afghanistan and character of Taliban.
