Afghanistan's Situation and its Impact in the Region and the World

Fri. January 18th, 2008
Washington, D.C.

On January 18, Abdullah Abdullah, former Minister of Foreign Affairs for Afghanistan, discussed some of the challenges currently facing Afghanistan and how they may be addressed.

According to Abdullah, the people living in dangerous areas of the country have no choice but to turn to the Taliban for protection, and cannot cooperate with other actors for fear of retaliation.

The discussion was moderated by Carnegie President Jessica T. Mathews.
