On August 30, 2021, the U.S. military completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan after nearly 20 years of fighting against terrorism. President Biden defended his decision to end the war by stating that the U.S. must learn from its mistakes and not become involved in nation-building in a post-9/11 world. While Washington debates whether or not President Biden should have pulled the plug, a humanitarian crisis is brewing on the ground. The Taliban, who the U.S. ousted from power shortly after 9/11, now control nearly all of Afghanistan. Girls struggle to continue their education, while authorities discourage women from working outside the home. The Afghan people are fleeing their country by the thousands, causing a refugee crisis at the border. In this episode, we talk with Christopher Nyamandi, Country Director for Save the Children in Afghanistan, to understand the humanitarian impact on the ground and the future of women and children’s rights under the new Taliban government.
