Strife-torn

India on Friday decided to rush 40 ITBP commandos to strife-torn Afghanistan for protection of its people and assets while its Embassy in Nepal will be fortified following a threat of a Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT) attack.

Could you please explain to me what "strife-torn" means here?

Though I know "strife" means "an disagreement".
