From ISAF to Resolute Support - 20 Years of „War on Terror“ in Afghanistan

Voices on the international engagement in the country at the Hindu Kush

Asset Publisher

The military engagement in Afghanistan has influenced the German public discourse on security policy in a way no other military mission in German post-war history has before. After years of a certain “Afghanistan fatigue” this engagement is increasingly coming to the fore of public debate again.

The end of the military intervention and the 20th anniversary of 9/11 raise questions about the outcome of the international engagement in Afghanistan and about the country’s future prospect. Although not all of the defined goals could be reached some success has been achieved.

For Germany, the deployment of the Bundeswehr at the Hindu Kush has been a formative, crucial event. It substantially shaped Germany’s security policy and therefore constitutes an important signalling effect for the country’s security and defence strategy.

Below, political decision-makers, experts and local representatives of the civil society provide an assessment of the international engagement, classify its relevance for Afghanistan as well as for Germany and look at the future prospects.
