As a founder of the Afghanistan Partnership (CUSAP), Hamed Wardak works to maintain strong relationships between Afghanistan and America. This organization desires to achieve economic stability and prosperity in Afghanistan, and recognizes that America is necessary as a key supporter in this plan.
Understanding more about Afghanistan can help people to see the complexity of the situation and to help with the mission that CUSAP has set out. Since the 19th century, three counties have invaded Afghanistan. The United Kingdom was there, leaving in 1919. The Soviet Union invaded from 1979-1989, leaving between 600,000 and 2 million Afghans dead during their time.
The Taliban movement formed in Afghanistan in 1994, and they became a political force in 1996. By the year 2000, they had captured 95% of the country. In the year 2001, the U.S invaded.
