Inside the Taliban part 2 of 8

The Middle East Institute is proud to host Kandahar-based writers and
researchers Alex Strick van Linschoten and Felix Kuehn for a discussion
about the state of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the current situation
in Kandahar. Strick van Linschoten and Kuehn translated and edited My
Life with the Taliban, an account of the inner workings of the
organization from the perspective of former Taliban minister and
ambassador to Pakistan, Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, who was arrested
following the overthrow of the Taliban and spent four years in
Guantanamo Bay. Exploring the dynamics within the Taliban and the local
tribes from which they draw their support, Strick van Linschoten and
Kuehn will discuss the concerns and views of local Afghans living amid
the confusion of a foreign political and military intervention.
