Start from the Mohammad Zahir Shah and Mohammad Dawood Khan\u2019s till now.\u00a0In addition to the developmental\u00a0and influential\u00a0engagement\u00a0of development projects in Afghanistan, including\u00a0\u00a0projects,\u00a0educational scholarships and cultural partnerships,\u00a0and\u00a0in recent times, in the last half decade through the helping of special Khalq parties and subsequent jihadist organizations, So the Russia remained one of the most active actor.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Afghan- Russia relations; Background of a century<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When King Amanullah Khan won the war of independence from England and had declared complete independence in internal and external policies and affairs, Russia was one the first\u00a0countries recognized \u00a0the new independent kingdom of Amanullah Khan, and then\u00a0both\u00a0countries\u00a0was\u00a0the first\u00a0to signed treaty\u00a0in the cooperation between the two countries despite the accepted independence, until then was the military agreement signing Soviet union to military aid to Afghanistan due to this agreement number of\u00a0Afghan students went to Russia for study in field of Air force.\u00a0Meanwhile, the\u00a0exchange of letters between linen and ghazi Amanullah khan\u00a0was\u00a0also\u00a0done.<\/p>\n<p>These relations have been renewed again after signing the treaty with Mohammad Nadir Khan&#8217;s after the period of Ghazi Amanullah Khan.\u00a0In the period of Mohammad Zahir Shah, other treaties were followed by the previous agreement signed with the Soviet Union, at this\u00a0stage master-plan was developed for the development of Afghanistan,\u00a0the first five-year master plan was chaired by Mohammad Daud Khan. The plan was until 1956-1961; the Soviet scientist for this plan came to Kabul and planned a\u00a0master plan\u00a0for Afghanistan in\u00a0ministry of plans.\u00a0The new\u00a0master plan was\u00a0followed by the\u00a0second master plan, the third master plan and again the fourth master plan, but successful master plans were the first two master plans,\u00a0which led to the tens of projects are completed\u00a0and inaugurated.<\/p>\n<p>As Mohammad Dawood Khan had support of parties particularly the Democratic (Parcham) party with himself, and also geographical\u00a0changes were there\u00a0in the\u00a0area,\u00a0in which the United States had more confidence on Pakistan compare to Afghanistan;\u00a0therefore Afghanistan had a good relations with Russia, of course it does not mean that they haven\u2019t tried to balance the relations with the Soviets Union, Afghanistan\u00a0tried\u00a0to get attention of US for its military and economic\u00a0developments\u00a0but\u00a0they were not in position to get\u00a0 the extent of such attention , but then the US supported couple of projects in Afghanistan, in these large projects such as Kandahar Airport , Helmand\u2019s development programs, the Kajaki dam\u00a0and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Soviet Union helped Afghanistan largely compare to the US and in general the West, the Soviet Union have supported Afghanistan in all aspects take it from economics to the social fields. the main feature of Soviet aid it\u00a0was,\u00a0that they were here implemented infrastructural projects, the projects is so far useful for\u00a0Afghanistan,\u00a0even the US with huge amount of Dollars in the past\u00a0eighteen years failed to implement such useful projects in Afghanistan. Whatever projects are implemented by the US that is just a temporary projects and for a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>These Infrastructure projects and also long term loans to Afghanistan from the Soviet Union. Was something to take Afghanistan to the industrial Afghanistan, in as a poor and non-industrial Afghanistan\u00a0there was\u00a0no feudal and no workers, for all these projects there was a need of labor force that the workplace was formed in at least one of these projects, and in the workforce of Soviet Union, the associations again reversed\u00a0the revolutionary slogan\u00a0in the philosophy\u00a0of\u00a0its Marxism.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Several examples\u00a0of\u00a0Soviet\u00a0Union\u00a0infrastructure projects\u00a0in Afghanistan\u00a0are as follows:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Kabul and Baghlan Silo, the Jangluck factory of car, Darunta and Naghlo dams, Nangarhar canals, the oranage farms in\u00a0Nangarhar\u00a0, Kabul Pulikhomri Highway, Kandahar, Herat and Torghandai Highway, Salang Tunnel, Kabul, Bagram, Shindand, Kandahar and Kunduz airports, Kabul\u00a0Makrouan, Kabul&#8217;s 400 bed hospital, various factories such as Mazar-e-Sharif chemical factory and Kabul-based home manufacturing factory, in the north&#8217;s gas and oil exploration, Kabul Polytechnic\u00a0University\u00a0and dozens of other projects.<\/p>\n<p>After the coup of People Democratic Party of Afghanistan, the treaties was\u00a0signed,\u00a0but\u00a0obviously independent of the traditional\u00a0left to accommodate\u00a0the\u00a0views\u00a0of\u00a0Democratic\u00a0Soviet\u00a0government\u00a0nepotism.\u00a0In this phase, relations between the Democratic Government and the Soviet authorities were tremendous\u00a0and\u00a0they were\u00a0openly\u00a0joint meetings, telephonic and good relations with each other\u2019s, These relations have been ranked on the basis of ideological and marketable partners instead of national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Diplomatic century; new stage of engagements <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 27<sup>th<\/sup> of May 1919 is the first day of diplomatic relations in the history of the Russian Empire, and Afghanistan, This relation became into existence by Ghazi Amanullah Khan and a newly formed Soviet Union, and then later this connection was held on different occasions. More tightened.\u00a0From\u00a01919 to 2019 it\u2019s a century,\u00a0and at this time in Afghanistan and\u00a0the\u00a0Soviet Union\u00a0out\u00a0of the two rival countries\u00a0both\u00a0high\u00a0level ranging between\u00a0deep\u00a0experience\u00a0possible Soviet\u00a0invasion.<\/p>\n<p>When arriving on May 27, 2019, the former Russian Union-\u00a0based\u00a0Russians used to use this\u00a0day as an active diplomacy in place of traditional remedies in the Afghanistan context, whether Russia or other countries with similar\u00a0maternal diplomats\u00a0have a relationship with\u00a0friends;\u00a0have they ever considered special arrangements in this day?\u00a0But\u00a0it is\u00a0a\u00a0good development, Russian after the rule of Mohammad Daud khan interfere directly and indirectly in the civil war of Afghanistan,\u00a0 today as they are trying for peace in Afghanistan that is the shared benefits of Afghanistan And Russia in the peace of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>In Afghanistan in the context of Russia&#8217;s relations with the parties, this transformation also new that\u00a0Russia dialogue and relations with the Taliban by breaking the first barrier of specific regulatory relations in Afghanistan and relations in factional respectively and also on ethnically diverse.<\/p>\n<p>If Russia wants from the bottom of the\u00a0heart,\u00a0that peace must proliferate in Afghanistan it\u2019s necessary,\u00a0that\u00a0such dialogue environment must be created where Taliban, Afghan government and various influential political-social sides must participates in a serious talk.\u00a0That all Afghan sides and Russia with this forum are also pushing out the withdrawal of foreign troops; it is a high level of national interest in Afghanistan, no Afghan want foreigners to be in the country. For the mission of fight, this is the biggest contribution to Afghanistan&#8217;s independence and the Afghans have always been mocking in this country.<\/p>\n<p>An experiment in case of jihadist line it\u00a0is,\u00a0that they have given more focus to war, they do not have the necessary preparation and exercise of political, economic and social engagement, so they always enter from the angle of war, it is a fact\u00a0that\u00a0the war angle has always\u00a0been dominated by\u00a0various\u00a0factors, Taliban must at this stage\u00a0don&#8217;t ignore the experience\u00a0of\u00a0former\u00a0mujahideen factions\u00a0in the peace case, the right time for peace may not be available,\u00a0And there is no power in war and\u00a0peace,\u00a0Former jihadist organizations, who would like to have peace in their period\u00a0 standards of peace during the need of peace but also came to the stage that they\u00a0did not have\u00a0all their facilities and days in their country.\u00a0As a matter of the case, Taliban are a major player of the case today, they need to understand value of peace.<\/p>\n<p>The Taliban should not see only their views in the negotiation process of peace, the Afghan issue is a national issue, and there is a lot of small groups, if we ignore it that will lead to the next disaster in the country.\u00a0That will look good with the Taliban if they don&#8217;t take it to their own. If the Taliban don&#8217;t talk with the government. In this case, only the withdrawal of foreign forces would\u00a0never\u00a0allow\u00a0to\u00a0end\u00a0the\u00a0war,\u00a0for foreigners it is very easy and affordable,\u00a0that they do not have their casualties here in Afghanistan, but their war will continue here and they can afford such a cheap war.<\/p>\n<p>If Russia wants to do a positive role in Afghanistan and start good relations, then Russia should prove it in peace\u00a0case, since this time Russia should take a generous part in the reconstruction of Afghanistan, So this is how they will close the chapter of war, where they had been engaged one million Soviet soldiers in a periodic way, Russia would prove its friendship, in the wake of new Afghanistan, Russia should Understand that sustainable peace and security are impossible without economic development and stability and when such stability is not in Afghanistan,\u00a0Then the war will never end in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>For Russia&#8217;s developmental cooperation in Afghanistan it is also necessary that the\u00a0Afghan government have to\u00a0provide conditions for the development\u00a0and implementation\u00a0of Russia&#8217;s assistance.\u00a0At least the Afghan government had to follow the promises of Russia\u00a0,\u00a0since they promised\u00a0in 1392 to integrate\u00a0and rebuild the uncompleted projects of the Soviet Union, Afghan government need to follow these\u00a0steps\u00a0between the US and the regional powers,\u00a0and\u00a0it depends on the leadership of the Afghan government how can the US and NATO presence\u00a0change\u00a0to\u00a0opportunity\u00a0to replace Russia for promoting Russia&#8217;s aid\u00a0?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Afghan\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Russia, diplomatic relations, from historical point of view seems from the period of Ahmad Shah Baba and Amir Sher [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[774],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-3822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recent_analysis","tag-slideshow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3822"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3824,"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822\/revisions\/3824"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csrsaf.org\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
