Victory and Collapse a Year On

Over a year has now passed since the Taliban recaptured Kabul and went on to re-establish their Islamic Emirate. At the time of their entry into the capital, Taliban supporters relished a sweet, almost miraculous, victory. But for Afghans opposed to the Taliban, August the 15^th marked the collapse of their Republic, and with it a loss of freedoms and hopes. In victory and collapse, we consider how Afghan perspectives on the Taliban takeover have been shaped by the first year of the Taliban in power. Features guest interview with new generation Afghan analyst Tamim Asey.
