Episode notes

There's en much of the blame go is on the americans. But, you know, i've always, alwayss also said that the affrican government was a corrupt government and had little engagement with the people. The cards were all on the table. So how could you expect the taliban to compromise or agree to acese fire? I think mistakes were made. And in that regard, bide in then i think when he came in, honestly, the afian people had a lot more hope that he will take back what had happened. He will slowly begin a reri re start this process and allow an opportunity for us to lay conditions and really work a lot more openly
