Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Eight years after the U.S. invaded Afghanistan, the Taliban seems to be stronger and better armed than ever. And as its members fight government forces in Pakistan, shutting down the Taliban’s access to guns, funding and other resources is increasingly urgent, experts say. Kojo talks with veteran reporter Gretchen Peters about the Taliban and the drug earnings that are the source of its resilience.
