- Since the fall of Kabul in 2021, the Taliban have effective control of Afghanistan-a scenario few Western commentators anticipated. But after a twenty-year-long bitter war against the Republic of Afghanistan, reestablishing control is a complex procedure. What is the Taliban’s strategy now that they’ve returned to power?
In this session, Dr. Hassan Abbas will examine the resurgent Taliban as ruptures between moderates and the hardliners in power continue to widen. The group is now facing debilitating threats-from humanitarian crises to the Islamic State in Khorasan-but also engaging on the world stage, particularly with China and central Asian states. Making considered use of sources and contacts in the region, and offering profiles of major Taliban leaders, his book “The Return of the Taliban” is the essential account of the movement as it develops and consolidates its grasp on Afghanistan.
The session will be moderated by Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy.

Salute to Parvez for sensitivity and care for humanity...
Hi Dr. Parvez Hoodbhoy ji, I welcome your Black hole you tube channel. I am very happy that you are educating children in different fields. Please keep helping these children. I am sure one day a child will take Pakistan to new heights in the world.
Internal contradictions of Islamic world are sufficient to destroy it

Sir Kya Pakistan Taliban ko protect krty krty khud hi Afghanistan ni banta ja raha?
Dear Dr. Hassan,
Given that your book's readers primarily consist of the younger generation, it's crucial to ensure accurate terminology for the warriors who have played significant roles in the past four decades. Following the Soviet Union's invasion, it's important to note that the resistance forces who valiantly opposed the Russians and their backed government in Afghanistan were referred to as Afghan Mujahideen, not the Taliban.
The distinction becomes particularly important in understanding the historical context. After the Russian withdrawal in 1987 and the subsequent collapse of the supported Afghan government in 1992, the nation endured a tumultuous period marked by looting. During this time, a fresh wave of individuals took up arms against the Mujahideen - these fighters were recognized as the Taliban.
In essence, clarifying these terminologies is pivotal for the accurate portrayal of the events that unfolded during this complex period. By addressing these nuances, your book will provide a comprehensive and clear understanding of the historical narrative to your readers.
Sincerely,
Khan Zaman
As you sow so will you reap.
Great conversation

Parvez saab
Awesomeness 👌
Dr Hussain Abbas sahib, please include the role of war lords in formation of Taliban government and the absence of political parties in Afghanistan.
Pakistan should not have interfered in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
Excellent discussion ❤
Beautiful discussion.
Dr. Hassan wants full involvement of West in Afghanistan!
Good to see, many people still think critically.
Questions were good in the end
How and what right any nation or institution has to discuss anything with Taliban until they guarantee equal rights to women?
Afganistan people are .main responseble for the full history.
They are wanted to use other but they are used for other.
Strategic depth is becoming strategic death'
Very interesting
Pakistan looks at Afghanistan as some object they can use for personal benifit to have "strategic depth" and what not. Pakistan looks down on Taliban as a terrorist organisation which they can use as a tool to manipulate world powers.
India views Afganistan as brotherly nation who is in need of support. India builds infra, educates its people, tries to make Afghanistan self reliant, Wishes Afghanistan to return to its glorious days, no matter which government is in power in Afghanistan.
Excellent session
A very good platform
Very informative
Brother you are assets of human beings ❤
Please read the history properly
Go to bacck. And why Pakistan are. Marking teririsism.
That is not solutions
Millions of Pathans live in Punjab. They have properties and run businesses and even then they speak I'll of the Punjab.
Hum first, hum first! 😂
Appreciations for the good discussions to see the way of better Pakistan in the light of previous decades,although we remained disturbed
A humble suggestion to your honor,Dr sahib, what a great if you could have titled it (A light in a black hole)
Please call Afrasyab KHATTAK sometime in your next program
when muhsin dawar and Ali wazir manzoor Pashteen said the same don't support Afghan Taliban then some so called patriotic were blaming them for anti Pakistan
General people of afganistan are really don't know how much full they're..
Modern Muslim Intellectual is profoundly portrayed by Dr. Mohammed Iqbal
ترا وجود سراپا تجلی افرنگ
کہ تو وھاں کے عمارتگروں کی ھے تعمیر
مگر یہ پیکر خاکی خودی سے ھے خالی
فقط نیام ھے تو زرنگار و بے شمشیر۔۔۔
Your Majority of common ppl and state with establishment celebrated the return, so why r u cribbing now?
کوئی حکومت جو عوام کی مرضی اور ووٹ کے بغیر بنے ناجائز ہے۔
I used to appreciate your video perveez sir. But jab sir ne pashtoono ki baat shoro ki tu ap ne jan boj k osy cut kiya... 27:55 pe... Moje buhat afsos huwa
Ali wazir zindabad
First time Disappointed with guest .
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Invite raza rumi, mirtaza solangi, anwar maksood, najim sethi. In next program
Violent methods can not be accepted under any circumstances?
Pakistan trained the Taliban and gave tgem shelter in Pakistan. Then the Pakistan army helped the Taliban to conquer Afghanistan.
Now Taliban is paying back gratitude to Pakistan by attacking them.
Strangely many of your guests/intellectuals talk as if they are in a “chai ki adda”, answers are never succinct or to the point and thoughts are presented with too much rambling. Yet the topics and ramifications are so important for the future of Pakistan and it’s people.
