Inside Afghanistan under the Taliban

Inside Asia by The Center for Asian Democracy

Episode notes

In August 2021, Kabul fell to Taliban forces, as the militant groups finalized its return to power in Afghanistan. Three years later, how does Taliban governance compare to earlier periods in power? And what lessons are to be learned from the failure of the republic period in the country? Dr. Omar Sharifi (University of Minnesota, Humphrey School of Public Affairs) joins the pod with CAD research fellow Riaz Nassiry to analyze Taliban rule and reflect on his work in Afghanistan to strengthen democracy.
