AFGHANISTAN:
THE FORGOTTEN WAR?
Global Issues Forum
with Neamotollah Nojumi,
Michael Metrinko and Jeff Leigh
This second annual forum features Neamotollah
Nojumi, former Afghan resistance fighter, political
advisor to mujahideen leaders, and author of The Rise
of the Taliban in Afghanistan: Mass Mobilization,
Civil War, and the Future of the Region; Michael
Metrinko, who spent four years in post-Taliban
Afghanistan, most recently as the Embassy’s Advisor
on the Afghan Parliament; and Jeff Leigh, UWMC
Associate Professor of History. They will consider the
question “has Afghanistan been neglected, with the
world (and the media’s) focus on the War on Terror
and the War in Iraq?”
