Afghanistan: Kabul’s fall to the Taliban

In 2021, when Afghanistan seized control in Taliban Kabul, he experienced a scenario similar to existing unrest in Nepal. The US -backed regime fell and the Taliban rule was established. Taliban, who was overthrown by a US coalition in 2001, reappeared after 2020 US Taliban’s agreement on the withdrawal of foreign troops. Until April 2021, the Taliban rapidly increased his attack by taking the leading Afghan cities.

On August 15, 2021, he marched to Taliban Kabul. President Eşref Ghani left the country and Taliban took over the presidential palace.

Bangladesh: Eclipse of Hasina Government

Muhammad Yunus, who won Nobel, was currently elected as the Chief Advisor of the Nation. During the protest, the protesters destroyed a statue of Bangladesh Patriarch Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Other neighbors are also struggling with instability: Maldives and Pakistan

Political instability lies in the constant protests of the former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was abolished with an insecure vote. Organizations such as drive-i-taliban Pakistan (TTP) often carried out attacks using drone bombs in Northwest Pakistan and Balochistan. Organizations such as the separatist Baloch Liberation Army (Blas), which declared Balochistan as an independent state, threaten the shehbaz administration.

Politics in Maldives changed in November 2023 after Muhammad Muizzu’s presidential victory.

At home, the management is more conservative than before.

Myanmar: The brutal pressure of the army

In Myanmar, the army dismissed Aung San Sau Kyi in 2021. The soldier misrepresented people’s reaction to the coup and responded with pro -democracy protests. The army responded by throwing mass massacres and firing the demonstrators. These civilians forced themselves to arms, and an ongoing war emerged. Now, many armed groups are fighting from the forests to the army, and the army bombs the whole country without discrimination to destroy these rebels.

Myanmar’s internal conflict caused a serious refugee crisis. Since the coup, more than 65,000 refugees, the jaw ethnic group, have moved to India. According to Reuters, most Myanmar refugees apply for asylum in Mizoram. The coup claimed that there were more than three thousand life and led about 1.7 Crore (17 million) to the edge of hunger.
