2007 EVENT



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?”
