A discussion on the state of the domestic and foreign dynamics shaping Afghanistan’s prospects for achieving peace and stability.
Fifteen years have passed since the international community’s intervention in Afghanistan in 2001. Since the drawdown of international forces, Afghanistan has not been able to secure peace and stability. What are the principal domestic and regional factors that deter and enable achieving these objectives? How can the country move forward?
