Each bar is twice as long as it is wide. The coat of arms depicts part of a mosque, sheaves of wheat, two banners, the date 1371 (A.D. 1992), which is the date of the Mujahideen victory, and an Arabic inscription that reads, "There is no God but Allah and Muhammed is his messenger." This black, red, and green flag was flown in Afghanistan from 1930 until 1973.

Back to NIE Guide to the Middle East Afghanistan Under nearly constant warfare for the past 22 years, the landlocked Central Asian nation successfully fought off a nine-year invasion from the Soviet Union in 1989. Shortly thereafter, the rebel groups, or mujahadin, began fighting each other, culminating in a civil war that is still underway. The Taliban, a group of Islamic fundamentalists, controls 90% of Afghanistan, including the capital of Kabul. The allow Osama bin Laden, a former mujahadin soldier, to set up camp in Afghanistan as their "guest." Pakistan Afghanistan's neighbor to the east, Pakistan was the United States' primary ally in Central Asia during the Cold War. Pakistan has been engaging in sporadic warfare with India for more than 40 years over the province of Kashmir, which each nation claims. Pakistan last made news in 1998, when it detonated a series of nuclear devices to match India's atomic capabilities. The subsequent international sanctions resulting from the tests have left Pakistan economically weakened. Now the leadership must balance a desire to assist the United States with the resulting backlash from Pakistani Islamic militants, who support the Taliban.

Geography 2002—Geographies of Global Change Debate 4 — The Aftermath of the War in Afghanistan The fourth debate of the class will focus on the prospects for Afghanistan in the wake of the US attack on the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in October 2001 after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington DC The main foci of the debates are the interests of outsiders in the country, the ethnic divisions of Afghanistan , and the scenarios for the future. Obviously, we cannot anticipate the next few years in Afghanistan with any certainty but we can outline and contrast the interests of the external actors and their local allies. Keep in mind Saul Cohen’s concept of shatterbelt and his recent writing to the effect that Central Asia , including Afghanistan , has now become a shatterbelt in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the arrival of the US in this region. Also, remember to connect recent developments in Afghanistan with the conflicts in the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea region. Afghanistan is not an island; it is surrounded by strongly interested neighbors ( Iran Russia , and Pakistan Also

Trivedi for National Geographic Today October 19, 2001 Recent events have provoked a sudden and intense interest in the people and geography of Afghanistan. Mapmakers at the National Geographic Society have responded by creating an up-to-date, detailed picture of the changing situation in the country. Whereas it usually takes cartographers about seven months to produce a map at the Society, the new map was completed in just over a month. High demand for maps of Afghanistan and the surrounding region from schools, news organizations and the government motivated the intense effort. Debbie Gibbons, project manager (left), and Dianne Hunt, senior production cartographer, look at proof copies of both sides of the new National Geographic map of Afghanistan.

Western investors to assess Afghan minerals, gas Click Here Afghans plans world's largest copper mine November 8, 1998 KABUL (AFP) - An international consortium will begin assessing copper reserves in Afghanistan shortly which could lead to the development of the world's largest copper mine, Deputy Mines Minister Abdul Salam Zaeef said Sunday. Nine entrepreneurs had signed a memorandum of understanding to develop the mine at Logar, 35 kilometres (21 miles) south of Kabul, which held reserves of 11 billion tonnes, he added. However, he said the initial tests had been conducted by Russia during its occupation of Afghanistan and needed to be confirmed. The consortium's engineers were expected to begin assessments within two months as part of a broader one billion dollar investment plan, and report back with final estimates and costs by May next year. "Historically copper reserves were seen in the vicinity of about 10 million tonnes but when the Russians arrived they upgraded the resource to 11 billion tonnes," he said "The estimates are the biggest in the world." The consortium consisted of businessmen from America, South Africa, Britain, France, Germany and Pakistan. The Escondida copper mine in Chile is currently the biggest producer in the world. It is 57.5 percent owned by Australia's BHP Co. Ltd.. Zaeef said Afghanistan's ruling Taliban was optimistic about the Logar site because the copper was close to the surface and could be easily accessed through open cut mining.
