Episode 5: Bring It Together.
From 1972 to 1992, the mixture of the political fight, ethnic fight, and religious movements create the condition where people were looking for a Solution that would bring Sharia Law and Peace. The result would be the movement started by “students from the Madrassas” - IE Talibs.

Episode 4: The Government and the People
In this episode we track the kings and emirs of Afghanistan, the changes in government from an emir, to Kingdom, to Republic, to Emirate, to Republic. We explain why the government has never represented more than half of the population and their values since the Hotak Empire in 1708. One cannot understand the road to peace without understanding why governments always failed in the past and now. The governments never represented more than half the population.
