How the Taliban Regained Power in Afghanistan

Open Access Book
Mona Kanwal Sheikh, Jan Werner Mathiasen, Lars Erslev Andersen et al. - Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS)
This book examines how the Taliban were able to regain power in Afghanistan in 2021, some 20 years after the US intervention. It is the result of a thorough review of research and policy publications over the course of 20 years, and is based on open-source data, including threat assessments of the Danish intelligence services. There are multiple explanations in academic and policy reports as to why the Taliban were able to take power despite the efforts expected to prevent this from happening. Based on existing research literature, analyses, studies and reports, the book identifies five factors that are central to understanding the outcome.

Elias Götz & Jonas Gejl Kaas - Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS)
This report offers an analysis of Russia’s Africa policy since its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Three major conclusions emerge from it.
