in afghanistan the situation is different. essentially been attempting a coalition of minorities on the morality of the country the 40% of the population and they have essentially no political representation in their government. i've been sworn to resist american occupation since they started fighting in 2004 -- 2005. they are going to take over the country almost certainly. that means there is going to be hell to pay for those who've been propped up in power by the united states so far. it would be great if they could negotiate some kind of peaceful resolution in the form of a new government there. but frankly i expect the worst brick. >> in your book, enough already you described 911 as blowback, what you mean by that? >> well blowback is a term coined by the central intelligence agency after i run and 1953. it means not just consequences it means long term consequences of secret foreign policy so when they come back to haunt the united states the american people do not understand the real context of what is going on. with t

my family is still in afghanistan. my father, my sisters, five, six sisters are in afghanistan. one sister is newly displaced to sweden and two brothers are displaced as refugees to the united states. so i am all over the world when it comes to my heart, when it comes to my story, it's not finished that i'm here in the uk. i'm very proud to be an afghan british citizen, both, and i've got my cultural heritage from afghanistan and i'm very proud of that as well. but on the other hand, it really saddens me to see how people are suffering, including my own family members going through the traumas that i went through in the late mid to late �*80s, during the �*90s before i came to the uk. are you able to see it first—hand in the sense are you able to visit afghanistan regularly now? i used to visit afghanistan until 2017 when we set up the charity there and then i didn't have to go because the charity is connecting doctors through mobile phones to smartphones. i'm a humanitarian. i wasn't affiliated with a political organisation or the previous government. i would love to go b

but right now, you know, every day i talk to people in afghanistan and i read about afghanistan. so the situation is really tragic. it's disaster. it's more than critical, you know, a hunger poverty health conditions. ok. but you know, education and employment, lack of cash, all of these have that to one of the worst situations in history and on the face of the earth. you know, the vast majority of the people who are hungry, food insecure, are the center, has gone almost a states engaging in economic sanctions, but also seating in a way or in founding the $9000000000.00 of the afghan to spend money. so the situation is truly a disaster. it's, it's tragic, it's in human. i would say it's almost like a genocide in slow motion. the afghan central bank has around $7000000000.00 us dollars in reserves that are held overseas. why is the u. s. government able to control this money. why can't the afghan government access its own money? you know, the united states when the usaa withdrew or was defeated or got tired would do about a year ago. and it continued to nomic warfare on afghanista

we were all trying to understand what this new reality of taliban was, afghanistan, of an afghanistan where they no longer had control over the prison system. what does that mean to appreciably change the threat and those organizations that were present there. as we learn of the last year plus since that withdrawal, one, you got to decide,al-qaeda from isis, completely different. al-qaeda has to worry about what the taliban has to a say about e presence there. al-qaeda has a relationship of the taliban. the taliban has an interest in ensuring that al-qaeda does not present a major threat. sitting in downtown kabul was striking because all of those interest that the taliban has wrappedd up in legitimacy in trying to move the country forward eventr though in many ws they're moving backwards, and so the al-qaeda dynamic is just very different. there's again that default al-qaeda that meant group which is increasingly less of a threat in terms of what's on my radar. you look at the sort of old-school al-qaedaal presence both engaged with elements of taliban and yes, there there but i get

those things don't exist in afghanistan. the fight against the taliban exposed the chronic corruption and mismanagement of then president ashur, i've gone his government right more than $300000000.00 per year, went to paying salaries of afghan security, full staff members who didn't exist, in fact, according to one investigation. afghan truth numbers were as low as 50000 when the taliban took cobble. currently afghanistan is one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world. we blame the afghans for siphoning off money and acting corrupt. and it's a bit of arrogant, soothing that we in the exact same situation, wouldn't see the same thing that you don't just get at people, people everywhere. that's, you know, that was a one time part of our understanding of american exceptionalism. now american exceptionalism was as fantasy that somehow we have a perfect life. we can export that to everybody just by dictate and not actually the hard work, ah low morale, coupled with the abrupt withdrawal of us supported like to widespread de

in afghanistan the situation is different. essentially there has been a coalition of minorities on the plurality of the country with 40% of the population of the pashtun and they essentially have no political representation in the government and have been sworn to resist american occupation since they started fighting back in 2004 in 2005. they are going to take over the country almost certainly had that means there's going to be to pay for those who have been propped up in power by the united states so far. it would be great if they could negotiate some kind of peaceful resolution to the problem in the form of the new government there.n frankly i expect the worst. >> in your book "enough already" you describe 9/11 as -- what do you mean by that? >> blowback was a term coined by the central intelligence agency after the coup in iran in 1953 and that means not consequences. long-term consequences of secret foreign policy so that when they come back to haunt the united states the american people understand the context of what's

horton, 20 years since 9/11 and us troops in afghanistan a what isn your reflection? >> as far as the war of afghanistan goes we never should have find it should be over by christmas 2001 if they focused on the extradition or on targeting the very small number of fighters that he tried to do a regime change against those that did not attack us and wage at 20 year war to prop up the new government and nowp after 20 years they have admitted what has been to for at least ten years that the war was lost and the taliban wind and they never could have won the war. now the critics were right all along and the proponents were wrong. host: 20 years later the us is pulling out of afghanistan what do you think the results will be? >> i think it will be real travel for the parties that america has supported all this time and we far for the super majority of was the victory because they did not need us but the government thatll america created in baghdad is so the government in iraq. in afghanistan is different essentially we have been attempting there is a coalition of minorities

we were all trying to understand what this new reality was of afghanistan, and afghanistan where they no longer have control of the prison system and what does that mean to appreciably change the threat and those organizations that were there and i think as we have learned over the last year plus is that withdrawal on you have to disaggregate the province. they are completely different in that al qaeda has to worry about what the taliban has to say about their presence there. al qaeda has a relationship to the taliban has an interest in ensuring al qaeda does not present a major threat and zawahiri's sitting in downtown los angeles was striking because the interest that were wrapped up and legitimacy in moving the country forward even though they weren't being affected. so you know the al qaeda dynamic is very different. there is again that the funk all qaeda continent group which is increasingly less of a threat. you look at the old-school al qaeda presence engage with african elements of the taliban and are they organized and coalesced in an effort against united states and even al-

troops in afghanistan, which reflection on that? >> guest: well, as far as just the war in afghanistan goes come we never should have fought it. the whole war on terrorism really should've been, could've been overe by christmas 2001 if the w. bush administration had focused their efforts on either the extradition of al-qaeda to america or another from the country, or on targeting the guilty, , the very small number of al-qaeda fighters hiding out in afghanistan. instead, he wrote a writ for regime change against the taliban in, but did not attack us, and then to wage a 21 against all of its enemies in an attempt to cross a new government up. now after 27me admitted what's been true for at least ten, which is that the war is lost and the taliban has one, and they never could have won that war and now the proof is in the pudding, that the critics were right all along and proponents were wrong. >> host: so 20 years later the u.s. is both out of afghanistan. what do you think the results will be? >> guest: well, i think it's going to be

those things don't exist in afghanistan. the fight against the taliban exposed the chronic corruption and mismanagement of then president ashcroft. gandhi's government right more than $300000000.00 per year went to paying salaries of afghan security, full staff members who didn't exist. in fact, according to one investigation. afghan truitt numbers were as low as 50000 when the taliban took cobble. currently, afghanistan is one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world. we blame the afghans for, you know, siphoning off money and acting corrupt. and it's a bit of arrogance. i think that we in the exact same situation, wouldn't say the same thing that you don't just get at p port people everywhere. that's, you know, that was a one time part of our understanding of american exceptionalism. now american exceptionalism is as fantasy that somehow we have a perfect life. we can export that to everybody just by dictate and not actually the hard work, ah low morale, coupled with the abrupt withdrawal of us support like to widespr

>> i got to ask a couple of afghanistan questions. forces withdrew in august 2021 and 2 months later in official testified before congress that iis in particular could potentially develop capability to launch attacks in six to 12 months and al qaeda could potentially was the term, have that capability in one to two years so we are at or nearing that window now. both remain active in afghanistan, how do you assess the threat specifically to u.s. interest fromre afghanistan and how realistic is over the horizon to counterterrorism? >> a lot to unpack their. first of all, cited one there and others decided different timelines especially the immediatees aftermath of the drawdown in afghanistan. we were all trying to understand this new reality afghanistan where they have no longer have control in the systems, what does thatt mean to change the threat? as we learned with that withdrawal, you got to get the al qaeda problem, is completely different and al qaeda has to worry about what the taliban has to say about their presence there. the t

while he is here, his deputy is in afghanistan. the deputy erie -- the highest level international official to go to afghanistan since the taliban took over. the secretary-general explained to me her mission. >> there is something that really i feel deeply, which is what is happening to women and girls in afghanistan. what i said in the general assembly, the risk to move into a gender apartheid society. my belief that only the muslim world can convince the taliban that this needs to change. [indiscernible] -- that issued the statement. it is very important. it clearly says that what is happening in afghanistan is against the koran. she visited before, going to afghanistan, a number of islamic countries. with the objective to mobilize support in the islamic world to make clear for the taliban that they need to reverse their present trend. i think this was an important initiative. i hope this initiative will produce positive results. and in any case, we will be ready to adopt the measures considered necessary if the initiative does n

since taking control of afghanistan in 2021. the taliban government is rolling back the rights of women and girls. the country is also suffering from an economic collapse and is in the throes of a deepening humanitarian crisis as winter conditions. worse than on today's show, we ask simply how our afghans coping ah, joining us to discuss the latest from afghanistan, from kabul. ali lativia, freelance journalist covering afghanistan for al jazeera and london women's rights activists show korea barracks. i and also with us from cobbled samira side rockman advocacy and communications coordinator for the international rescue committee. ah, and of course, for those of you at home, we want you to join the conversation. so be sure to share your thoughts and questions with us on youtube. thank you for joining us. this is obviously an important conversation so many angles to discuss samira. i want to start with you with a basic tweet. just from moments ago, amnesty international highlighting all the ways the taliban has band women and gi

it's both of us war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. and publishers were integral to the information that you liked about the vietnam war. so i'm curious from your perspective, what happens if that president that you spoke to is said that allows governments to dictate what can and can't be published? well, you from a clue this way. it threatens to create a new, as chris is not distinguishable from russia. today with julian, a sorry, ah extradited if he hasn't yet been expedited, but it was expedited and prosecuted convicted here. we will have had the 1st instance of an actual journalist i hadn't been imprisoned for putting out the truth . i was the 1st source, former official to give information like that to jury was and i was put on trial for. but no journalist is ever been put on trial. thanks to our 1st amendment, friedman chris and treatment speech, which most countries don't have as a law or a. it will be essentially rescinded if julian sanchez, successfully, prosecutor. and we will then approach the state control of information su

ready for people in afghanistan for women as long as they are in effect. well it, it basically means that, you know, women can not be educated above primary school, which means that the future of female doctors and nurses, and engineers, et cetera ease teaches is, is not there. and of course, that is why it is it has to be changed because the rules of the tradition of the country long before the taliban is that men cannot give direct assistance, direct care to women outside of the family. so than is in need for educated women, there isn't need talk. female 8 work is because mays are made, college cannot give 8 to windows to single mothers with children, which is a large part of the people we serve. we cannot work with a band of human work just and the nation of afghanistan would disintegrate. without education for women. organizations like yourself, as you say, cannot work without, with the ban on female work is in place. what if anything, can the international community do in response to this? is there any kind of leverage that can be used against the tal

there are still people and afghanistan who -- in afghanistan who are waiting to hear back on promises of compensation and have been encouraged to pursue. this operation happen him when he was 12 stop although on the form, who was written that he was 14. he felt this telling symbol for me as to what really was left behind. amy: i want to ask you about who is behind these zero units, particularly why, for example, that these raids are conducted by the cia and not the military, what kind of loophole and lack of reporting investigation or accountability that leads to? >> it is a very murky area. as you say, they are not u.s. military counterterrorism operations. because they fall under the cia, they don't fall under the usual u.s. law that would apply to the military or title x. and you a special operation forces soldiers joining these operations also don't fall under the same u.s. laws because these are now covert action operations, title 50. so there is this completely loophole into them not receiving the same oversight and scrutiny that u.s. military operations would. nermeen: lynzy, t
