🇦🇫 We may not be devotees of their brand of liberty, nor are we prepared to emulate their peculiar ways, but their unconquerable spirit is something that in these dark and oppressive days we can all admire.

With unnerving rapidity, imperial contraction, much talked about over the recent years, now has palpably and visibly taken place in #Afghanistan. The chain of events leading to it was lightning quick, and it is unlikely to leave anyone across the length and breadth of this earth unimpressed or unmoved. Future travellers from the antique land of Afghanistan surely will have tales to tell of the shattered visage of the new Ozymandias, the hubristic “king of kings” upon whose works “the Mighty” have indeed until quite recently looked with awe and despair, or will they? It is a sentiment that after the humbling scenes just witnessed by the global village, in real time and from the sands of Afghanistan, is turning rapidly into contempt and ridicule.

Those with a bit of historical memory, as well as aptitude for connecting dots and drawing parallels, will recall the topic that in the mid-1960s preoccupied the geostrategists of the decaying and moribund British empire.
