Abstract

Chapter Five South Asia Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani was inaugurated Key statistics 2013 2014 as president of Afghanistan on 29 Conflict intensity: High High September 2014, completing a trans- Fatalities: 3,500 7,500 fer of power threatened by political New IDPs: 125,000 dysfunction, a resurgent Taliban and New refugees: 22,000 the imminent withdrawal of NATO combat troops from the country. Despite delays in the election, US Secretary of State John Kerry was able to create a power-sharing agreement that placed Abdullah Abdullah, Ghani’s electoral rival, in the newly created post of chief executive officer. Upon taking office, Ghani and Abdullah formed a national unity government and began discus- sions with NATO and Washington on maintaining a foreign troop presence in Afghanistan after the departure of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The talks formally established Operation Resolute Support, a training and support effort scheduled to begin on 1 January 2015, as well as US counter-ter- rorism initiative Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. Although violence reached some of its highest levels in 13 years, the Taliban was unable to turn the Afghan con- flict decisively in its favour.
