The Stolen Republic

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, Persian/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 relies on diverse sources: the author's personal narrative as a young Afghan leader and human rights activist who began his work at an early age for freedom and democracy; interviews with prominent Afghanistan and international figures and scholars; surveys capturing public perceptions; and information from well-known national and international media sources. Together, these sources offer a comprehensive view of the collapse of the republic and 20 years of democracy in Afghanistan.
