Answer 2

Both nations struggle with unrest.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Iraq: Since the Iraq War of 2003, a multinational coalition, mainly American and British, occupied the country. The ensuing conflict has had great significance: the increase in civil violence, political breakdown, the elimination and execution of former President Saddam Hussein, and the development of political and economic balance. According to the Index of Failed States of 2018, Iraq is the eleventh most unstable country at present.

• Afghanistan: In recent years several wars and conflicts have happened in this country. In 1978, the Saur Revolution took place. The strong harassment of the Islamic fundamentalists provoked the intervention of the Red Army in support of the government, while the guerrillas received the support of the United States, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other Muslim nations. In 1989 the Soviets withdrew, although the civil war continued. In 1996, the Taliban imposed a regime based on Sharia. In 2001, the United States overthrew the Taliban government supported by an international coalition, in reaction to the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the Pentagon and in New York and responding to a policy of persecution of the group Al Qaeda in the region by the American government. The previous political structure of Afghanistan was replaced by a more pro-Western and democratically elected government.
