After two decades, the Taliban once again dominated Afghanistan. This control was not due to the strength and cohesion of the Taliban, rather it was caused by the breaking of the promise of the afghan allies, since Afghanistan was now less important to them. The emergence of new priorities for NATO and the heavy costs of the war made them leave Afghanistan.
In a state of confusion and anxiety, they fled from Afghanistan, and left 35 million afghan civilians without support, and therefore the political groundworks, the economic system, and scientific infrastructures of Afghanistan all collapsed at once. After taking control, the Taliban continued to kill and imprison the country's citizens. They closed the doors of universities to girls, and also made a fundamental change in the university's curriculum based on their own understanding of Islam.
The transfer of power to the Taliban was carried out in coordination with the beneficiary countries in the region. Those countries believe, that a fragile Afghanistan in the long term is providing them interest and that Afghanistan is supposedly the best market for their consumer goods.
Although Afghanistan is already one of the countries possessing the highest number of immigrants in the world, with the Taliban coming to power, the new wave of Afghan migration to foreign countries intensified.
When an Afghan immigrant arrives in a new country to start their life there, they face many difficult challenges. To solve these new-found problems, they will need new intelligence and a new way of life. The modern world requires different perceptions and solutions. Therefore, every immigrant must make a fundamental change in their thoughts if they want to thrive in the new world.
The foundation of all changes is the acceptance of new concepts and positive thinking. Positive thinking makes a person able to relate and fit in with the host society with ease.
The decisive majority of the people of Afghanistan are Muslim and there is high amount of emphasis on positive thinking in the manuscript of Islam
In such a complex situation, I have decided to publish the dissertation that I had wrote for my master's degree at Middlesex University. Although the topic of research was the positive effect of thinking on the life of an afghan immigrant in London, it can be generalized to all countries that accept refugees.
This book is useful for those who want to attract the host community and it also may open a door for those who want to investigate the affairs of Afghan immigrants.
