I would say his popularity came from his pledge to restore 'order' in the country which was plagued by mass unemployment and strikes by socialists and communists. His blackshirts beat up socialists and communists. Obviously the socialists and communists opposed his rise as did many other working class people. Some of the middle class shopkeepers, doctors, lawyers etc worried about the rise of socialism in the new Soviet Union also supported him.
The correct answer is - establish a democratic government.
One of the main goals of the war in Afghanistan, at least officially, was to establish a democratic government. In order to accomplish such a thing, the Us forces, as well as the others that fought alongside them, had to eliminate al Qaeda first, as well as to put under control the separatist, extremist tribes that were controlling parts of the country.
Unfortunately, this didn't really worked out as planned, and Afghanistan is still a country in terrible condition. It is still a country where the safety is on a very low level, the human rights are not respected, especially towards the women, and the existence of terrorist and extremist groups is still a huge problem.
The Himalayas was a barrier between southeast Asians that prevented them from contacting each other without advanced equipment.
