Manage episode 329119192 series 2886146
Since the swift takeover by the Taliban in August 2021, Afghanistan has faced a deteriorating humanitarian crisis. The economy and public services have collapsed, significant numbers have experienced severe food insecurity, millions have fled the country and millions more remain internally displaced. With the world’s eyes now trained on the war in Ukraine, what does the future hold for Afghanistan?
In this episode, Sana Safi, Senior Presenter for BBC News, speaks to Shaharzad Akbar, Human Rights activist and former Chairperson of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission; Sahar Fetrat, Assistant Researcher with the Women’s Rights Division at Human Rights Watch; Mark Logan MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Afghanistan and Shelley Thakral, Afghanistan spokesperson for the World Food Programme. They discuss what the future may look like for minority groups and women under Taliban rule, and consider the ways in which the UK could offer support to Afghanistan.
