Conflict: Soviet-Afghan War 2/4

Wars In Peace: Afghanistan

The Soviet War in Afghanistan, also known as the SovietAfghan War, was a nine-year conflict involving the Soviet Union, supporting the Marxist government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan at their own request, against the Islamist Mujahideen Resistance. The mujahideen found other support from a variety of sources including the United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt and other Muslim nations through the context of the Cold War.

The initial Soviet deployment of the 40th Army in Afghanistan began on December 24, 1979 under Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. The final troop withdrawal started on May 15, 1988, and ended on February 15, 1989 under the last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Due to the interminable nature of the war, the conflict in Afghanistan has often been referred to as the Soviets' Vietnam; the analogy compares the conflict to America's role in the Vietnam War.

2.43 "if he doesn't join the rebels, he'll be escorted to a Pakistani refugee camp".

Nice to know those Afghans are so gentlemanly! The George Orwell book 1984 should be compulsory reading for everyone; 25 years ago the Afghans were called the "Mujaheddin" the good guys who escorted prisoners back to Pakistan. Now they are the "Taliban" - the worst savages in the world. Our best friends are our worst enemies. War is peace. You couldn't make it up.

nobody wins a war,but still no one can prevent it.because anyone who tries to stop it goes out of breath before he could stand any chance.after all lead is powerful then pen.but soon the people will have a voice as the media is helping to see everyone the true colors and people may be peaceful and some time seem helpless , but we are not blind.

@DrFuriousPurpose It wasn't that "then, they were called Mujahideen, and now they're known as Taliban". Mujahideen is still used by the Taliban or other groups. There were NEVER an organisation called "Mujahideen". At that time, it was different groups, called Shura e-Nazar, Hezbollah-e-Afghanistan, al-Qaeda (which had the name Maktab al-Khadamat before 1988), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, Hezbi Islami and more. Mujahideen was just as much organisation then as now!
