Join us for a conversation about the dire economic crisis facing Afghanistan. Our guests will talk about the need to push back on U.S. sanctions and the withholding of international funding, which only harms the Afghan people; the need to end U.S. drone assassinations, how to deal with the Taliban, and how to support Afghan women.
