The Af-Pak Files #1 |
|
With the Americans pulling out of Afghanistan, Pakistan finds itself between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, it wants to remain relevant as Washington's attention drifts from Af-Pak to the Indo-Pacific. On the other, cooperating with the U.S. (or granting it a base) for continuing counterterror operations in Afghanistan could further alienate its allies, population and even the Taliban. Emmy-nominated journalist Wajahat S. Khan analyzes the risks and rewards Pakistan faces as it negotiates with the Americans and other players in the region.
