The Fall of Afghanistan

featuring Allan Behm and Ebony Bennett

The assumption that terrorism can be defeated by military force doomed the war in Afghanistan from the start, says Allan Behm

The desperate scenes at Kabul airport after the city fell to the Taliban represent an inglorious end to Australia’s longest war in Afghanistan. Join Allan Behm, director of the Australia Institute’s International and Security Affairs program, as he explains the failures of strategy, politics and intelligence that led directly to this moment.
