The Stolen Republic (Pashto Edition)

The Stolen Republic: Untold Facts Behind the Collapse of Afghanistan's Last Republic, written by Khalid Ramizy with a foreword by renowned scholar Professor Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili and published by the World Anti Extremism Network in three languages (English, Farsi/Dari, and Pashto), explores the causes and untold realities behind the fall of Afghanistan's last republican government on August 15, 2021, and the return of the Taliban.

This book draws on diverse and credible sources, including the author's personal narrative as a young Afghan leader and human rights activist who began his work at an early age in defense of freedom and democracy. It also features interviews with prominent Afghan and international figures and scholars, surveys capturing public perceptions, and analysis of reports from well-known national and international media outlets. Combined, these sources provide a comprehensive view of the collapse of the republic and the failure of two decades of democratic efforts in Afghanistan.

What makes this book unique is its integration of documented facts with the author's firsthand experiences and insights, alongside practical and strategic recommendations and solutions for the future of Afghanistan. It offers readers a clear and compelling understanding of the internal weaknesses, external influences, and political decisions that led to the collapse of the NATO-backed Afghanistan government-while also presenting a vision for how freedom, stability, and democratic values can still be defended for Afghanistan's future.
