Show Notes

A peace process to end the 18-year war has gathered steam, with talks between the U.S. and Taliban appearing to make substantial progress on foreign troop presence and counterterrorism. Negotiations among Afghans on the country’s political future have not begun, however, and last week’s conference in Doha that might have launched these discussions collapsed at the last minute.

During this moment of rapid developments, rare opportunity, and considerable uncertainty, the U.S. Institute of Peace hosted a distinguished panel of experts examine what’s next for the Afghan peace process.

Speakers: Scott Worden, welcoming remarks Director, Afghanistan and Central Asia Program, U.S. Institute of Peace

Belquis Ahmadi Senior Program Officer, U.S. Institute of Peace

Jarrett Blanc Senior Fellow, Geoeconomics and Strategy Program, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

Lotfullah Najafizada Director, TOLOnews TV

Scott Smith Technical Advisor, Afghanistan, U.S Institute of Peace

Johnny Walsh, moderator Senior Expert, Afghanistan, U.S. Institute of Peace
