Vorwort
Following a long series of attacks, inter alia on Afghan security personnel and international military forces – including also Austrian Armed Forces personnel as part of the ISAF and RSM peace operations – the Taliban have retaken control of Afghanistan and re-established an Islamist regime (“Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan”), which has now been in place for five years. With the withdrawal of US troops in 2021, the war in Afghanistan – which began in 1978 with the coup d’état by Afghan communists – also came to a temporary end.
