Show Notes

The hope (prediction?) that Afghanistan would be somewhat different under a renewed Taliban (Taliban 2.0) government has been dashed.  The Taliban are still very much a Sunni Islamist terrorist group - the death of Al Qaeda (AQ) leader Ayman Al Zawahiri in a Taliban apartment a few weeks ago sure showed that - and beholden to a very extreme interpretation of Islam.  In other words, it's 'Deja vu all over again' to quote former NY Yankees catcher Yogi Berra.  Borealis talks with Fausia Abdul on what to expect under the renewed Taliban regime.
