Afghanistan For What?, is a 1984 Moroccan movie, directed by Abdallah El Mesbahi, and starring Soad Hosny, Abdallah Ghaith. Mohamed Majd.
Afghanistan For What? is an Egyptian political drama that examines the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan through the lives of three ordinary Afghans: a young woman, a university professor, and a religious scholar. The film captures their world before the full devastation of the occupation takes hold, charting the gradual collapse of a society under foreign military pressure and ideological imposition. By centering human stories rather than battlefield action, the film offers an empathetic portrait of Afghan resilience and resistance, asking pointed questions about the human cost of geopolitical aggression.
