The Capture of Kabul

Posted on: Wed 18 Aug 2021

After 20 years of occupation in Afghanistan, the US has made its decision to withdraw its military forces from the country to fulfil a deal made with the Taliban last February.

As a result of this, Taliban forces have been launching an assault on Afghanistan’s provincial capitals including most recently Kabul.

Chair in Global Islamic Politics at Alfred Deakin Institute for Globalisation & Citizenship: Professor Greg Barton joins Breakfast’s Zoe Kounadis and Tom Mann to learn more about this complicated situation.
