statecraft_reelsIn a 2004 interview, as America’s War on Terror raged on in the Middle East, Zohran Mamdani’s father, Ugandan Anthropologist and Academic Mahmood Mamdani, challenged the widely held belief that terrorism, especially figures like Osama bin Laden, emerged purely from religious extremism. Instead, he argued that modern terror tactics are deeply rooted in the geopolitics and US foreign policy during the Cold War.Mamdani explains that while the US and the Soviet Union framed the Cold War as a global struggle between ideology and freedom, the actual battlegrounds were not in Washington or Moscow, but across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.These regions became proxy war zones — with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, Renamo in Mozambique, and the Contras in Nicaragua, among others — where local groups were armed, trained, and funded by the US to serve larger geopolitical objectives, with little care of what the political aftermath would be in these countries and regions.According to Mamdani, the US nurtured environments where anything, from drug trafficking to civilian casualties, became acceptable if it helped defeat communism.He added that Osama bin Laden emerged from this ecosystem, not as a religious theologian but as a political actor shaped by a worldview that dismissed civilian lives as collateral.As such, Mamdani contended that 9/11 was a political act designed to ignite rebellion, and ironically, the US response mimicked the same logic—treating Middle Eastern countries as expendable “collateral damage” in the War on Terror.#MahmoodMamdani #ZohranMamdani #Mamdani #GeorgeBush #Iraq #Afghanistan #WaronTerror #US #ColdWar #ForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #InternationalAffairs #Diplomacy #Statecraft
