Carnegie Endowment Events

As the deadline for withdrawal of U.S. troops in Afghanistan approaches, Afghanistan’s neighbors will have a greater impact on shaping the country’s uncertain future. Samina Ahmed and Mark L. Schneider will discuss the transition with a particular focus on Pakistan’s role. They will look at civil-military divisions over Pakistan’s Afghanistan policy, assess the impact of cross-border militancy on Afghanistan’s stabilization, and discuss the implications of Pakistan’s involvement in a potential negotiation process between the Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai government and the Taliban. Carnegie’s Frederic Grare will moderate.
