Twenty years after being ousted by US-led military intervention, the Taliban reclaimed power in Afghanistan in 2021. This webinar seeks to explore the developing situation in Afghanistan from a historical and political perspective. Our distinguished panelists will share their insights on the ramifications of the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, exploring it within the context of geopolitics, security and diplomacy. They will investigate the real issues that are driving the conflict in Afghanistan, the implications of the developing situation for neighboring and regional actors, and what would a durable and responsible foreign policy towards Afghanistan look like.
