Withdrawal from Afghanistan—Consequences and Lessons From an Engagement
Three years ago, NATO troops withdrew from Afghanistan, and the Taliban took over. Has the mission failed—as is often claimed—or is there a more nuanced picture? Dr Katja Mielke, senior researcher at bicc, has examined the impact of intervention policies on the Afghan population and discusses the consequences of renewed Taliban rule for the Afghan people. As an expert member of the German Bundestag’s Enquete Commission “Lessons from Afghanistan for Germany’s Future Networked Engagement”, she describes the commission’s interim findings and comments on them in the light of the current conflict situations in the world (in German).
