The Future of Afghanistan with Michael Kugelman

Описание: Afghanistan has long been dependent on foreign aid to survive. Once the Taliban took control, much of that was shut off. In August 2021, when the Taliban took over the country, $8 billion in international aid was suddenly terminated That represents 40 percent of the country’s GDP.

"There are very few cases where there's indications that those sanctions do not hurt the common people and a lot more than they hurt the government that they're targeting," said Michael Kugelman, a leading specialist on Afghanistan and the deputy director of the Asia Program for the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
