Prospects for the Coalition Government in Afghanistan

Thu. November 13th, 2014
Washington, DC

While Afghanistan may be emerging from the period of great uncertainty that followed the fraud-ridden presidential run-off of June 2014, it is far from out of the woods. William Maley identified some of the key problems that Afghanistan needs to overcome in order to achieve even a modicum of stability under the new coalition government of President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and CEO Abdullah Abdullah. Carnegie’s Frederic Grare moderated.
