"The Taliban 2.0 & the United States Dilemma"

(Open to Current UChicago Students Only)

INSTITUTE OF POLITICS – LIVING ROOM

Wednesday, October 27

3:30-4:45pm

With the United States having fully withdrawn from Afghanistan, there are more signs of international terrorist groups, mainly ISIS, emerging in the country. Can the Taliban and the United States work together to fight international terrorism while the Taliban leaders are still on US and UN backlists and the United States is in no hurry to recognize the Taliban regime?

Special Guest: Tamim Asey, former Deputy Minister of Defense of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan 

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

This convening is open to all students who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
