In this episode of Talk to Jazeera, Al Jazeera’s Ghida Fakhry talks to Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan’s president.
It has been six years since US-led coalition troops toppled the Taliban in Afghanistan as part of it’s so-called ‘war on terror’, but the country today remains in tatters.
President Hamid Karzai’s government has limited power, and the Taliban has regrouped, carrying out attacks across the country against coalition troops and Afghan civilians.
In a wide-ranging interview, Ghida Fakhry asks President Karzai about the state of his country, from political reconciliation, to the presence of foreign troops, security, Afghanistan’s opium production and Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts.
President Karzai speaks passionately about his country and the issues it continues to face.
