Afghan Government Faces New Set of Rivals

Main Ideas

President Ghani and his Prime Minister Abdullah are being criticized for not holding delayed local elections.
Former President Karzai criticizes the current government for territorial losses to the Taliban and for an economic crisis.
The opposition, “are after appeasements...and want the government to give them political and military positions” -Wadir Safi (Kabul University)

Discussion Questions


  1. Should the US send more troops to Afghanistan to combat the renewed Taliban offensive?
  2. What are the potential successes for Afghanistan in 2016 and what are the dangers?
  3. If the current government in Afghanistan is struggling, should it be replaced? Should there be international assistance?
