En los primeros días de septiembre de 2021, el general Mark Milley, máximo jefe militar de Estados Unidos, ofreció una evaluación sin rodeos: Afganistán marchaba hacia la guerra civil. Su advertencia no era especulación abstracta, sino el eco de una lección histórica que el mundo ya había aprendido a un costo enorme — que el vacío de poder en tierras fracturadas no permanece vacío por mucho tiempo, y que quienes lo llenan no siempre son los que el mundo desearía.

Taliban consolidation creates power vacuum in non-Pashtun regions (Panjshir resistance), weakening US strategic influence in Central Asia. Potential terrorist group resurgence could shift regional balance toward non-state actors, complicating great power competition in the region. China, Russia, and Pakistan gain relative influence as US withdraws.
Similar to Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan (1989), which enabled mujahideen fragmentation, civil conflict, and eventual Taliban rise—creating conditions for Al-Qaeda sanctuary that led to 9/11.
