and particularly in afghanistan. because if you look at the ideology that isis sells and the narrative that they have, i have a feeling that their narrative resonates more in places and in countries where muslims are a minority and there is this, you know, perception of the persecution in countries like, for instance, in pakistan. there is very limited scope for them to basically find a toehold because the already -- the view, the narrative that they are building and projecting would not hold any ground. and the other is those ungoverned spaces that might exist that will give them the option of setting up the shops there. and that is one reason why everyone in the broader region is very keen to see peace return in afghanistan and similarly even on our side also, you know, the fatah integration into mainstream pakistan is historic step. and that again is basically designed to bring all our citizens into the mainstream, into the economic mainstream, into the legal mainstream and mill mainstream in terms of the cross bo

tarek: you are referring to afghanistan specifically. i do not advise the campaign on afghanistan, but mayor pete has been very clear on this issue and i will try to answer your question. was getting for the answer. we went into afghanistan for a specific reason. the 9/11 attacks. our goal should remain preventing afghanistan from being a base for terror attacks on the united states and around eyes. if we look to recent reporting about isis rising as a recent threat. we need to look at what responsibility means and the needs for a small, specialized presence during any transition. otherwise, we are in a much more dangerous position overall. with respect to the responsibility to protect, that is an emerging norm in the international community focused on the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. i don't think that is what we talk about in afghanistan today. does are two separate conversations. amna: sasha, i wanted to ask you -- toni, back to you for a second. this is a different time. the war was in a different place. back in 2014,

when we talk about afghanistan, let's remember why we got into afghanistan, under what authority. i think we need to look at the broader way we have approached and prioritized and emphasized terrorism as this dominant lens through which we see our security, not only in that region, but around the world. in this country the way we have securitized immigration as a possible source of terrorist threats has really corroded the way we talk about national security. as we talk about afghanistan, we need to talk about repealing the 2001 authorizations to deal with the problems. afghanistan is important having been the longest american war, that we need a more robust conversation about the way we have wrongly elevated terrorism to this dominant theme of our approach to the world. amna: mayor pete mentioned he wants to repeal the aumf. there is something else he mentioned about this doctrine of the responsibility to protect. this is not something i've heard anyone address appear. yes, it is the longest war and billions of dollars have gone into an effort that most agree would have been larg

but in afghanistan nothing is guaranteed. days into our visit we hear about a disturbing development the taliban have just announced a spring offensive against the afghan government in the military so what this means is that we're likely to see a lot more attacks but they're also saying here that the red cross will no longer be protected this is a really serious problem for the star and the patients at the center. it's not long before the news spreads very you know more than just the removal of the murray river that is. in the women's department crema is also briefing they get you michel almost and i was going to. give them something on everything but the. closer they don't think that we're going to listen we'll have not done that for a long. time left. you guys worried at all about your safety i mean someone we don't even understand maybe in your life that a moment or. the humbling that it might be called really well that it was. one of the shots that. one of the staffie a seaman faced i'm struggling to understand why the ta
