Speaker Session Preview

SMA hosted a speaker session presented by Mr. Sher Jan Ahmadzai (University of Nebraska at Omaha) as a part of its SMA CENTCOM (Afghanistan) Speaker Series. During this discussion, Mr. Ahmadzai stated that there are both internal and external factors that contribute to instability in Afghanistan (all of which he discussed in detail). These internal factors include Afghanistan’s system of governance, peace efforts and reconciliation, warlords, and social justice among all groups, while the external factors include neighboring countries (i.e. Pakistan, Russia, Iran, China, India, NATO, and the US). Mr. Ahmadzai also explained what Afghan leadership can do internally and what stakeholders can do externally to achieve stability in Afghanistan.
