Afghanistan - Fighting for Peace | |
||||||
|
 |
Afghan leaders charted a new course for their country in 2001, at a conference in Bonn, Germany. The Taliban had been routed, and Afghans were anxious for a peaceful future after a quarter century of war. Today, Afghanistan is still struggling to get on its feet and the Taliban are making a comeback. The BBC’s Lyse Doucet investigates what, if anything could have been done differently. | |

PART 2 |
In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, Lyse Doucet asks whether Afghans still have the backing and the will to carry on building an independent and peaceful Afghanistan. She also asks whether the international community is pulling together to move this country forward. |
