Abstract

After two decades on Afghan territory the United States and its allies departed the country in August 2021. They left behind many uncertainties and challenges for a region with vast cultural baggage and a strategic geographical position that has historically been coveted by various geopolitical actors. This essay attempts to reflect on the challenges that Central Asia has with the new phase experienced in neighboring Afghanistan, which is again under the power of the Taliban group.
