Episode notes

I think it is crucial that we don't take our eye off the situation. This is just the beginning of what's happening in afghanistan. We've left militarily, that's done. The withdrawal has happened. We've got to make sure we're not going to leave. In a humanitarian way as well, there needs to be pressure from the outside. They have made lots of promises, and we have to hold them to that.

In this week's episode we examine the unfolding situation in Afghanistan and what it means for the Afghan people and the world. In Part 1 Shabnam Nasimi reflects on the last few days as an Afghan living abroad watching as the Taliban swept to power. And in part 2 Shadi Hamid and Jeremy Bowen discuss the withdrawal from a geopolitical perspective. Is Biden following Trump's "America First" policy? And what message do recent events send to U.S allies like the E.U and Taiwan?
