EPISODE 6 – The peace process

In seizing Kabul, the Taliban collapsed the Islamic republic under which Afghanistan has been governed for twenty years. They also collapsed the peace process, abruptly ending three years of intense efforts by the US to broker a settlement between the Afghan conflicting parties. But the conflict in Afghanistan is not over and all the key questions around the country’s future remain unresolved. This episode asks what is happening on peace-making, over a year after the last formal process was aborted. Features guest interview with Mawlvi Atta ur Rahman Saleem, Deputy Chairman of the Republic’s High Commission for National Reconcoliation.
