The Problemology of Conflict and Peace Solution in Afghanistan
Abstract
Afghanistan is a country with a long experience of imposed war. During the past four decades, conflict and violence have been common, every day, and a part of the life of the people of this land, and their existence (life, property, and dignity) has been destroyed. Some consider the war as a foreign product and some as domestic. A conflict that was holy, era-making, and purposeful for a few people was absurd, unholy, and destructive for the general public. The war has brought a few people to fame, wealth, and status and has led the majority of the people to poverty and misery. At different times when war and violence have threatened the interests of warring groups, the flag of peace has been raised. Sometimes neighboring governments and sometimes the United Nations. Unfortunately, there is no end to the war in this country, nor is there a permanent peace. People are always facing this question: What is the cause of war? Is war a natural phenomenon between humans? Can war be divided into good and bad or useful and harmful? Is the result of war destruction or settlement? And about peace also: Why is peace not attainable for us? Is peace a gift? Should peace be defined against war or is it an independent social category? What does just war and honorable peace mean? What are the solutions to achieve peace? The findings of this research show that there are many causes of war in Afghanistan, and because of the peace-making process alien to the culture of this land, sustainable peace has become an unattainable ideal.
