Narrative:

Upon initial contact with bastion ground (oazi) for clearance to vidp; they asked us if it was for a VFR or IFR departure. We told them IFR and gave them full routing off of flght plan and an initial altitude of FL350. Initial clearance was to maintain runway track (010degs.) and maintain 14;000 ft. After departure and numerous attempts to contact tower for further clearance due to rising terrain; they then told us to contact basir control. Basir gave us a left turn to 180 degs. On that heading; received a traffic advisory on TCAS of an aircraft at 14;500 ft. Asked basir about traffic with no reply back. TA then went to an RA and had to descend to 13;000 ft.and advised basir. Their reply was to turn to a heading of 165 degs. And climb to 23;500 ft. They then told us to maintain that heading for 20-25 miles. They then told us to contact kabul control and after finally obtaining the proper frequency; contacted kabul. They told us that they had no info on us and no radar contact and to return to basir control. Basir then told us to turn to a heading of 145 degs. And to climb to FL350. They then handed us back to kabul and to monitor basir. While talking to kabul and giving them routing instructions from flt plan; we told them what heading we were on and altitude climbing to. The controller then told us to immediately stop climb; (FL290); and asked us who gave us that clearance. We told him basir did and he informed us that we had climbed through active military airspace. He then handed us off to kandahar control. Kandahar kept us on that heading and altitude for a period of time and finally gave us a turn back on course; (approx. 70 deg. Heading); and a climb to FL350 to intercept our flt planned route to vidp. No proper frequencies provided for controlling agencies and lack of communication between agencies concerning clearances.

Title: Flight Crew reports lack of communication between the departure airport (OAZI) and the airspace controlling agency (OAKX); resulting in a TCAS RA and climb through active military airspace.
