Welcome to Episode 77 of The Afghanistan Project, where we cover all topics related to two decades of war in Afghanistan, and the fallout of our Afghanistan withdrawal.
My guest today is an esteemed representative of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, His Excellency Mohammed Ashraf Haidari.
Ashraf served as the Ambassador of Afghanistan to Sri Lanka and Deputy Ambassador to the United States and India. He held numerous roles in the former Afghan Government’s Foreign Ministry and National Security Council from 2004 until the Taliban’s takeover in August 2021. Between 2020 and 2021, Ashraf also worked as the Director-General of the South Asia Cooperative Environment Program.
Ashraf is a TV and radio commentator, and has held a number of senior research and visiting fellowship positions in esteemed think tanks like the World in 2050 associated with the Diplomatic Courier, the New America, the Observer Research Foundation, the Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies, and the Delhi Policy Group. He frequently writes in major US and international publications, analyzing the nexus between human security and protective security with a focus on conflict, climate change, poverty and displacement. He holds his Masters in Security Studies from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and his Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and International Relations from Wabash College.
Ashraf discusses the factors that led to the dissolution of the former Afghan government and the changes witnessed within Afghanistan after the Taliban took power in the country. Ashraf also discusses what will be required to return the country to a successful path.
