Host Carol Castiel speaks with several Afghan analysts from the innovative think thank Newlines Institute, who discuss the ideas in their article “Challenges of a Talibanized Afghanistan.” They discuss the looming humanitarian crisis as millions of Afghans face potential starvation, the probable resurgence of transnational jihadist groups, the geopolitical ramifications of a “Talibanized” Afghanistan for neighboring South and Central Asian countries, and the difficulty of ordinary Afghans, especially women and girls, to keep their hard-won freedoms under the Taliban.
