The Heat: Afghanistan’s new start

For the first time since the end of 2001, Afghans are starting over without a U.S. military presence in their country. And, as the Taliban consolidates its power and sets about forming a new government, a spokesman for the group offered assurances Tuesday to those concerned about how they will rule. To discuss what’s next for Afghanistan: Omar Samad is a former Afghan ambassador to France and Canada. Michael O’Hanlon is a senior fellow and the director of research in foreign policy at the Brookings Institution. Mohammad Naciri is regional director of UN Women for Asia and the Pacific. Qinduo Xu is a senior fellow at the Pangoal Institution and host of CGTN’s Dialogue Weekend.
