YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen a diplomatic deal goes bad, the blame usually falls on the politicians. Often, we don’t even remember the names of the negotiators. But in the wake of the return of the Taliban, a lot of people blamed one man: US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad. An Afghan-born diplomat who has served in the US government since the 80s, he negotiated the Doha Agreement to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, which was meant to lead to a broader peace deal with the Afghan government. Instead, Taliban forces advanced, and the deal collapsed. Khalilzad sat down with reporter Andrew North to discuss what went wrong—and right—during the negotiations.
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.
