Afghanistan is one of the lowest-ranking countries in the United Nations index of human development outside Africa, being 170 out of 174. This is a result of continuous warfare for at least 20 years. The warfare did not only cause the physical destruction of Afghanistan, but also crippled the social, economic, and political aspects of the country. However, prior to 1978, before war broke out in the Afghan community, the main economic activities of the country were agriculture and pastoralism. It also received aids from different countries such as the US and the USSR, until political conflicts occurred during the 1970s. Afghanistan is going through post-Cold War conflict syndrome, as it is easily affected by its territory and population as well as the international state system. This unending war resulted in the destruction of agricultural assets, and later on the collapse of the state and its security.
