New #SWJBookReview: Shadows Over Kabul by Hamdullah Mohib and Tam Hussein
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
👤 By: Anesadora Hightower, the Book Review Editor of Small Wars Journal
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
"Written by former Afghan National Security Advisor Hamdullah Mohib and award-winning investigative journalist Tam Hussein, Shadows Over Kabul: An Insider’s Account of the Fall of the Afghan Republic is as much a memoir as it is a retrospective study on the complexities of war and democracy.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Shadows Over Kabul chronologizes Afghan history through the lens of Mohib’s life from how war shaped his childhood to the collapse of the Afghan government in 2021. Throughout the book, Mohib is as equally open to acknowledging missteps and doubts as he is to praise accomplishments. The effects of foreign intervention in Afghanistan are weighed equally to the actions of Afghan political leaders, Mohib included.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Mohib’s is a story told with a humility and empathy that breaks through the muddled haze of what might be perceived as propaganda."

Mexican government brings troop surge in Sinaloa up to 20,000 soldiers, marines, fed agents - in reaction to latest kidnapping (of a connected victim). Perhaps they should have tried such a surge before as Sinaloa has been ravaged by a cartel civil war for 2 years. Will it work?
¡20 mil elementos federales en Sinaloa!
Es la 1era vez, desde que la disputa criminal comenzó, que llegamos a esta cifra.
Queda claro que es la Federación y no el Estado quien le hace frente a la guerra. Lo malo es que la violencia letal se mantiene tan vigente como al principio.
¿Qué falta para que funcione?

#Importante | Como resultado de los trabajos de investigación e inteligencia para combatir los delitos de alto impacto, efectivos de la @SSC_CDMX, en colaboración con la @FiscaliaCDMX y con apoyo de la @GN_MEXICO_ y la @SEMAR_mx, aseguraron dos inmuebles presuntamente utilizados para el almacenamiento y comercialización de armas de fuego y narcóticos en la colonia Santa Cruz Meyehualco, alcaldía @Alc_Iztapalapa.
El operativo derivó en la detención de tres personas vinculadas con una célula delictiva, así como en el aseguramiento de cuatro armas de fuego largas, dos armas de fuego cortas y diversas dosis de aparente marihuana y metanfetamina.
En la @SSC_CDMX seguiremos trabajando todos los días para enfrentar y desarticular a los grupos generadores de violencia, con acciones puntuales y resultados que permitan fortalecer la seguridad y la tranquilidad de las y los habitantes de la #CDMX.

Seductive as it may be, Bukeleism is unlikely to work in Brazil. The #PCC and the #CV are far more sophisticated than El Savador’s extortionists and their (transnational) businesses much harder to track and disrupt. Spoke to @TheEconomist. economist.com/the-americas/2…
