Why Are Supply Chains Blocked?

by Michael Spencevia Project Syndicate
Wednesday, November 3, 2021

The rush to conclude a deal with the Taliban undermined US counterterrorism interests and emboldened hard-liners within the Taliban movement. The United States must recommit to human rights and counterterrorism in Afghanistan and avoid rewarding the Taliban with diplomatic recognition until they have earned it.
