The Afghan Peace Process: What is at stake?
At what stage are peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban and what role is the international community playing?
Following recent reports of talks to discuss peace proposals aimed at ending the fighting in London we will be looking at the peace process and examining what the price will be for people in Afghanistan.
What are the demands of the Taliban and what will it mean for the people of Afghanistan, including women who have until now been left out of the peace process?
