Afghanistan’s Future as Presented at Parliment by Afghan International Relations Expert Nasir Shansab

"[Afghanistan] must end the rule of strong men and let the rule of law prevail in the country"
— Nasir Shansab
LONDON, UK, March 2, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Afghanistan’s Future as Presented at Parliment by Afghan International Relations Expert Nasir Shansab

Nasir Shansab travels to London, Kabul

Author of Silent Trees and international relations expert on Afghanistan , Nasir Shansab addressed the committees of Parliament on Friday February 27th and shared his research and expertise on the continuing deteriorating conditions in his home country. Shansab was once one of Afghanistan’s leading industrialists before he was forced to leave the country in 1975, settling first in Germany and for the past three decades in the Washington D.C. area.

While in London Shansab addressed safety concerns, sovereignty, and how the wellbeing of Afghanistan’s people depend on whether the new unity government is truly committed to leaving the Karzai regime’s often hostile relationship with it’s Western allies behind. Above all, Shansab believes for Afghanistan to gain any forward momentum "it must end the rule of strong men and let the rule of law prevail in the country," especially in the wake of the U.S. troops withdrawals, recent reports of ISIS infiltration of the country and new armed militia splinter groups forming outside the purview of the government to defend against the terrorists.

Shansab’s views are reflected in his novel, Silent Trees, in which the main character, Habib Dil, learns as we all must-- that when a select few ruthlessly control a people, everyone is corrupted the street vendor and the politician alike-- and suffers profoundly from the absence of liberty.

Nasir Shansab is a dual resident of both the United States and Afghanistan who maintains homes and extensive business interests near Washington, D.C. and in Kabul. He advised the Reagan White House during the Russian invasion of his home country, spoken previously before Parliament and given a keynote presentation at the National Press Club, in each case sharing his unique, unbiased insight into the centuries old turmoil and turbulent future of Afghanistan. Multiple media outlets have called on Shansab for his expert analysis include The Washington Times, The Diplomatic Courier, NewsMax TV, Voice of America, TalkRadio Europe, America Tonight, Sirius/XM Radio, The Huffington Post, Canadian Business Magazine, The Glenn Beck Show, One America News Network, The Voice of Russia, The Jim Bohannon Show, America's Radio News and many more. Silent Trees is Shansab's second book.
