Negotiating with the Taliban | Let There Be Light | An Island Off an Island

Negotiating with the Taliban – When the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in August, the Taliban immediately seized control. The international community acted quickly – freezing Afghan assets and foreign aid to pressure the Taliban to negotiate. To date, those negotiations haven't happened. Today, 38 million Afghans find themselves facing one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet. Sharyn Alfonsi traveled to Afghanistan to discuss the crisis with one of the new Taliban ministers, talk with suffering families and meet with the humanitarian groups left to pick up the pieces and negotiate with the Taliban to avert a global catastrophe.
