Dont try to build naitons. It does not work. Leave it to the Agfans. They are the only ones who can do it.

The Loya Jurga can set up an Afghanistan where the various tribes can set up rules on how to interact amoung themselves (allow free passage across their territories) and how to share some common goods like roads, electric grids and so forth. They would set themselves up generally like the U.S. did with the Articles of Confederacy after the Revolutionary war. Sorry I ran over twenty words.

"How do you attempt to unify a country which has over a hundred differing factions,based on Tribe,powered by corruption greed and crime?" Focus attention on the peccadilos of the royal family, Ascot, the Proms, the FA Cup, and the Eurovision Song Contest.

"Dont try to build naitons. It does not work." I agree. Give them a chance to unify themselves, but don't presume to think you can create a nation, from the outside.

Twenty words or less? Threaten them with military action if they don't keep killing each other.

"Threaten them with military action if they don't keep killing each other." Not much of a reach, since we seem to have killed people on both sides, already.
