33:50Now PlayingAll manner of the rich and powerful have passed through the doors of the mountaintop Hotel Petersberg in Bonn, Germany, but perhaps never as motley a cast as the one that arrived on November 27, 2001 to negotiate an end to the wars in Afghanistan. Warlords, exiled monarchists, intellectuals, and some enemies so fierce that they’d already been trying to kill each other for decades. But a key element was missing: The Taliban was not invited. Australian Iranian investigative journalist and author Soraya Lennie has the story from some of the negotiators who were in the room.
Why did some of the world’s smartest and most experienced negotiators fail for 20 years to mediate a peace deal in Afghanistan? Find out on “The Afghan Impasse,” a special seven-episode season of The Negotiators from Doha Debates and @Foreign-Policy. Each episode focuses on a different phase of the talks, brought to us by a veteran reporter who has spent years living and working in the region.
