, Ashraf Ghani, once wrote a book called “Fixing Failed States”. On August 15th he gave up trying to fix Afghanistan and fled to avoid capture by the Taliban, a jihadist group thatlater that day. Afghanistan is often described as a failed state, perhaps the least-coveted accolade in geopolitics. However, it is not the only one. In recent months, pundits have applied the label to Myanmar, Lebanon and even Nigeria.
The simplest definition of a failed state is one that cannot fulfil its most basic responsibility: to provide security. If the state no longer has a monopoly on violence, everything else breaks down, from electricity to roads, schools to health care. . What is less clear is when a state moves from “failing” to “failed”. Take Nigeria. Parts seem perilously close to failure.

Afghan Situation has exposed that Western Civilisation is based on imperialism and Colonialism Systems of Capitalists which is what forces them to be followers of Devil, in order to destroy other people and their faiths, to steal or plunder their resources. Unchangeable Ideology.
