RSVP to attend virtually or to attend in person.
As the crisis in Afghanistan evolves after the fall of the country’s government in August 2021, global actors are debating how the international community should respond to the new Taliban regime.
It is vital that this response is based on the views and needs of Afghans themselves. What do the people of Afghanistan want? What are their most pressing needs as the country, weary from decades of conflict, navigates its uncertain future?
Join us for this timely conversation and hear insights from Afghan leaders. Learn how the international community, including the United Nations, the European Union, and the United States, can help meet the needs of the Afghan people and address the dilemmas related to engaging with the Taliban government.
This event is presented by the Keough School of Global Affairs and its Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, in partnership with Global Impact Management Consulting.
RSVP required.
