The easiest way for the Talibs to mining going and protect their regime is to invite in mining powers from most places in the world (that Pakistan allows pass through its territory), and balance competing interests, the way Mongolia did.It's a good thing to say that USA should have evacuated from Afghanistan ASAP. The Chinese are going to have a tough time mining Afghanistan in a profitable manner.
The afghans may also be in danger of their regime falling to neighbors, especially the Tajiks and Iranians, both allied to the Russians. Good relations with Pakistan and the GCC at least can help hedge against this, at the cost of a share of the mining business.
