This depressing long read [“Highway to Hell,” RS 1348] highlights all that is so distressing about the current state of play in Afghanistan: an emboldened Taliban, besieged Afghan forces, civilians caught in the middle, and the poverty of U.S. policy. And no clear way forward. —Michael Kugelman, via Twitter
What an inspiring story of the bravery of a 27-year-old female Afghan mayor, working in spite of multiple assassination attempts and the soldiers losing the war against the Taliban.
