With the United States withdrawing and cities falling to the Taliban in Afghanistan, Europe Center senior fellow Ben Judah interviewed Rory Stewart, former MP and Secretary of State for International Development, for his thoughts about the crisis on #BritainDebrief.

Stewart, a former resident of Kabul where he pioneered the work of the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, who vocally opposed the Obama-era “surge” in Afghanistan, thinks yes.
