Afghanistan ( (listen); Pashto/Dari: افغانستان, Pashto: Afġānistān [avɣɒnisˈtɒn, ab-], Dari: Afġānestān [avɣɒnesˈtɒn]), officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country in South and Central Asia. Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan to the east and south; Iran to the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan to the north; and China to the northeast. Occupying 652,000 square kilometers (252,000 sq mi), it is a mountainous country with plains in the north and southwest. Kabul is the capital and largest city. The population is around 32 million, mostly composed of ethnic Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras and Uzbeks. Human habitation in Afghanistan dates back to the Middle Paleolithic Era, and the country's strategic location along the Silk Road connected it to the cultures of the Middle East and other parts of Asia. The land has historically been home to various peoples and has witnessed numerous military campaigns, including those by Alexander the Great, Mauryas, Muslim Arabs, Mongols, British, Soviets, and by the United States with allied countries. The land also served as the source from which the Kushans, Hephthalites, Samanids, Saffarids, Ghaznavids, Ghorids, Khaljis, Mughals, Hotaks, Durranis, and others have risen to form major empires. The political history of the modern state of Afghanistan began with the Hotak and Durrani dynasties in the 18th century, with Ahmad Shah Abdali being considered as the founder of the state. In the late 19th century, Afghanistan became a buffer state in the "Great Game" between British India and the Russian Empire. Its border with British India, the Durand Line, was formed in 1893 but it is not recognized by the Afghan government and it has led to strained relations with Pakistan since the latter's independence in 1947. In the First Anglo-Afghan War, the British East India Company seized control of Afghanistan briefly, but following the Third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919 the country was free of foreign influence, eventually becoming a monarchy under Amanullah Khan, until almost 50 years later when Zahir Shah was overthrown and a republic was established. In 1978, after a second coup Afghanistan first became a socialist state and then a Soviet protectorate. This evoked the Soviet–Afghan War in the 1980s against mujahideen rebels. By 1996 most of Afghanistan was captured by the Islamic fundamentalist group the Taliban, who ruled as a totalitarian regime for over five years. Following the 9/11 attacks, an intervention by the US and its allies forcibly removed the Taliban from power, and a new democratically-elected government was formed, but the Taliban still control a significant portion of the country. Afghanistan is a unitary presidential Islamic republic. The country has high levels of terrorism, poverty, child malnutrition, and corruption. It is a member of the United Nations, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the Group of 77, the Economic Cooperation Organization, and the Non-Aligned Movement. Afghanistan's economy is the world's 96th largest, with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $72.9 billion by purchasing power parity; the country fares much worse in terms of per-capita GDP (PPP), ranking 169th out of 186 countries as of 2018.

Malawi (, or; Chichewa: [maláβi] or [maláwi]), officially the Republic of Malawi, is a landlocked country in Southeastern Africa which was formerly known as Nyasaland. Zambia borders it to the west, Tanzania to the northeast and north, and Mozambique surrounding on the east, south and southwest. Malawi spans over 118,484 km2 (45,747 sq mi) and has an estimated population of 18,143,217 (as of July 2018). Lake Malawi, also known as Lake Nyasa, takes up about a third of the area of Malawi. Its capital is Lilongwe, which is also Malawi's largest city; the next biggest is the biggest is Mzuzu and the biggest, Blantyre is its old capital Zomba. The name Malawi comes from the Maravi, an old name of the Nyanja people that inhabit the region. The country is nicknamed"The Warm Heart of Africa" due to the friendliness of the people.The part of Africa now called Malawi was settled by migrating Bantu groups around the 10th century. Centuries later the region was colonised by the British. In 1953 Malawi known as Nyasaland, a protectorate of the United Kingdom, became a protectorate within the semi-independent Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The Federation was dissolved in 1963. The protectorate over Nyasaland was ended and Nyasaland became an independent country with the new name Malawi under Queen Elizabeth II. Two years later it became a republic. It became a totalitarian state under the presidency of Hastings Banda, who remained president until 21, upon gaining independence. Malawi now has a democratic government headed by an elected president Peter Mutharika. The country has a Malawian Defence Force that includes an air wing, a navy and an army. Malawi's foreign policy is pro-Western and contains favorable diplomatic relations with most nations and participation in several international organisations, including the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, the South African Development Community (SADC), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), and the African Union (AU). Malawi is among the world's least-developed nations. The economy is based in agriculture. The Malawian government depends heavily on outside aid to meet growth needs, although this need (and the aid offered) has decreased since 2000. The Malawian government faces challenges in building and expanding the economy, improving education, health care, environmental protection, and becoming financially amidst unemployment. Malawi has developed several programs that focus on those issues, and the outlook of the country seems to be improving, with a growth in education, the economy and healthcare seen in 2008 and 2007. Malawi has a life expectancy and higher infant mortality. There is a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, which is a drain on the labor force and government expenditures. There is a population of an array of beliefs and native peoples, Europeans and Asians, with languages spoken. Although there was periodic regional conflict fuelled in part by divisions in the past it had diminished substantially and the concept of a Malawian nationality had reemerged.
