In Afghanistan, U.S. Still Needs a Plan to Win the Peace
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 2017-07-12

As the Trump administration completes its review of policy on Afghanistan and South Asia, public debate is focused on the war’s military component, including President Trump’s decision to delegate decisions on troop levels to the Pentagon. Yet a few thousand more troops alone will be insufficient to end the war. A security plan, including the anticipated troop increase, must be combined with a political strategy that addresses Afghan domestic and regional factors fueling the war. Join USIP in a panel discussion with leading experts on how such a strategy can help win the peace in Afghanistan.
