Panel discussion: Afghanistan 2026

Twenty-five years after 9/11 and five years since the American withdrawal, Afghanistan has faded from the headlines as new global conflicts erupt. Join the Frontline Club this Wednesday to refocus the spotlight on the ground reality—especially the systematic oppression of Afghan women and girls. Jasmine El-Gamal will examine the collapse of Kabul from inside the corridors of power with Tam Hussein, discuss the international community’s responsibility to Afghan women, and explore the stark realities of reporting under the Taliban with Leila Molana-Allen and hear about the struggles of journalists in exile like Zahra Joya and the immense challenges of protecting reporters still on the ground.
