Abstract :The struggle for power in Tadjikistan and Afghanistan poses a threat to regional stability. Moreover, foreign interference in both states leads towards the destabilisation of the region. Though Tadjikistan has been stabilised due to foreign mediation, the ethnic minorities in Afghanistan want to get rid of Pashtoon domination the largest ‘ethnic group’, comprising 45 per cent of the Afghan population which gets support from external powers. Tadjikistan, which borders Afghanistan, directly influences the ongoing internal power rivalries on the Afghan political scene. Thus both states have become victims of internal and external power struggles. This paper is an attempt to analyse the destabilising factors and the possible implications for the South and Central Asian region if the Tadjik-Afghan problem is not resolved peacefully.
