UPCOMING WEBINARS
Engaging with Afghanistan to Prevent a Humanitarian Disaster
Thursday, November 18
9:00-10:00am Eastern

Four decades of war made Afghanistan’s economy aid dependent, with grants financing approximately 75 percent of public spending. Since the Taliban takeover, banks are running out of cash, and even Afghans with savings are unable to access their funds, as $9.5 billion in Afghan assets has been frozen by global powers attempting to keep cash away from the Taliban government.

Join international humanitarian diplomat and Secretary General of Norwegian Refugee Council's Jan Egeland, International Crisis Group's Laurel Miller, and the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission's Shaharzad Akbar for a panel that explores how the United States can engage with the Taliban and most importantly the Afghan people to prevent a humanitarian nightmare from unfolding this winter. The Quincy Institute’s Adam Weinstein will moderate.
