This report explores the power dynamics in Afghanistan in the context of an ever expanding insurgency, a weak government and the US troop withdrawal. It presents evidence that the rampant corruption in the Afghan government has weakened it to the point where the Taliban can make strong gains in its influence over the population. The author argues that fighting the insurgency is synonymous with providing citizens security and basic services and tackling corruption. The paper includes recommendations towards achieving these goals.
