Description
“They couldn’t scrape together enough food to feed a family… It was very, very desperate.”
On August 15 2021, international troops withdrew from Afghanistan.
Two years on, what has been the impact of the Taliban’s rule? How has the country experienced both conflict and peace? And with a significant humanitarian crisis affecting the country, what can we do to support the people of Afghanistan?
In this episode, Dr Christine Cheng explores the balances of power, security and conflict that led to the Talban’s takeover in 2021. She discusses the mindsets that led to the USA’s expedited withdrawal, why countries aren’t prepared to send foreign aid to support Afghanistan, and the experiences of people – particularly women – living under the Taliban’s rule.
