[edit] History
Afghanistan is a country located in central Asia. The region has a history of violence, especially during the 20th and early 21st Centuries, including the invasion of the country by the Soviet Union, and the American-led coalition to eliminate Al-Qaeda cells. Originally part of the Persian Empire, Afghanistan has been a Muslim nation since at least the 7th Century AD.
In 2552, UNSC forces engaged Covenant Jiralhanae ground forces and Banshee and Phantom air forces on the town of Pawas, on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
