The Peninsula
As the intra-Afghan negotiations in Doha continue to seek a political settlement to end the conflict in Afghanistan, the academic community will be gathering online next week to discuss the scholarly debates over questions of peace, development, and reconciliation in Afghanistan.
The first day saw H.E. Dr Mutlaq Al Qahtani, Special Envoy of Qatar for Counterterrorism and Mediation, deliver an Opening Speech on peacebuilding and the challenges of political settlements and formal negotiations as well as Qatar’s neutral role as a mediator in the Afghan peace process. The Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies (CHS) and the Arab Center (Washington, DC) hosted the second day of the three-day conference today, 22 June 2021, and again brought together the world’s leading experts on Afghanistan to present their latest research, covering topics concerning long-term recovery and cross-sectoral sustainable peacebuilding.More Related News
