SUMMARY:The Future of US Policy in Afghanistan: Human Rights\, US Military Presence & Confronting the Taliban
DESCRIPTION:  \nA panel of experts to address advances in human rights\, the status of US military presence in the region\, and efforts to confront the Taliban \n\n\nJoin us on Monday\, January 25th for a discussion on the future of U.S. policy in Afghanistan\, featuring a diverse panel of experts: Associate Asia Director of Human Rights Watch (BRUSSELS) Patricia Gossman; The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s Deputy Minister of Interior Affairs Hosna Jalil; Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation Dr. Asfandyir Mir; Co-Director of Brookings’ Center for Security\, Strategy\, and Technology Michael O’Hanlon; and Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Governance and Markets at the University of Pittsburgh Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili (moderator). \n\n\n\n\n\nAs of November 2020\, U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan appears closer to an end\, with U.S. troop levels decreasing in line with the February 29\, 2020\, U.S.-Taliban agreement on the issues of counterterrorism and the withdrawal of U.S. and international troops. This conversation will address U.S. efforts to withdrawal troops\, build counterterrorism agreements\, while also working to help maintain Afghanistan’s political and major human rights achievements secured over the past decade. The discussion will consider how these efforts can be achieved despite the outsized role U.S. assistance plays in supporting the Afghan government and amidst the backdrop of a strengthened Taliban military position within the region.

SUMMARY:#FacesOfExchange Connection of 2021 with Mona Taha
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur first #FacesOfExchange of 2021 will feature Mona Taha on January 27\, 2021 at 11:00 AM EST (Washington\, DC Time).\nMona first came to the United States in 2010 on a “Changing Demographics and Multi-Culturalism in the U.S.” MRP.  Her original project was organized by Janice Brummond in our office and Michele Titi and Elizabeth Barry at Meridian International Center and went to Houston\, Minneapolis/Phoenix\, and ended in New York City.\n\nOur office will implement this as a virtual activity and that provides us a small budget\, so we will have three interpreters on the project to help facilitate communication.  The conversation will be in Arabic and we would love it if you could join us and invite resources from the previous International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) project and invite your membership\, leadership\, and potential new resources.  Mona will share how IVLP changed her impressions of the United States.  Her bio from our Faces Campaign:\n\nMona Taha Abdel Alim Attia is a prominent Egyptian women’s rights activist who first visited the United States through the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) and defines it as a life-changing experience that helped her eliminate many stereotypes about the United States. Ms. Attia wrote a story inspired by her IVLP and the diversity of her fellow participants called\, “A Singing Bird in Washington\, D.C.” In her writing\, she explores stereotypes based on religion and culture and shows that our basic humanity has the potential to bring us together. Ms. Attia’s work to empower women in Egypt includes creation of a leadership program that has trained more than 700 women. Her work on the gender imbalance in business in Egypt has shown women business owners new income generating activities.  Since her IVLP\, Attia has shared with Egyptians her firsthand experiences of life in the United States. She is proud to have stayed in touch with fellow IVLP participants and continues to draw support and inspiration from the group.  Mona Taha Attia is an influencer seeking to build a better life for Egyptians by empowering women.\n\nOne of the key aspects that we’ve refined is a way to share potential new connections in the United States and that has worked out well\, and we look forward to sharing additional resources with Mona from your community.
