Why Afghanistan Fell?

PARC invites Monsieur Didier Chaudet  to discuss Why Afghanistan Fell?

Mr. Didier explains why Afghanistan fell so rapidly, US policies, the Afghan society, the evolution of the Taliban, regional geopolitics from a historical perspective and, what to expect next in the "new" Afghanistan!
