Given that the most sophisticated war machine in history could not stabilize Afghanistan despite trying various approaches for a decade, how can the poorly armed Afghan Army succeed in pulling off this miracle now?
Unless there is a genuine effort to understand the roots of the crisis in Afghanistan and solve it in accordance with local traditions, it will be almost impossible to convince pro-Taliban fighters to lay down their weapons.
The challenge for Afghanistan's rapidly growing and chaotic media sector now is to determine what approach they should adopt to uphold their independence and professionalism, while also protecting themselves from crushing reactions from rival sides.
