There is no way that Indonesia could have completely avoided the swift spread of the Delta variant. But Indonesia has struggled to bounce back because there just isn’t enough supply of vaccines in the country.

Talks between China and the Taliban are not new, but the speed and extent of China’s adjustment in its Afghan policy raise questions about its strategy going forward— an issue for both regional and global stability.

As Lebanon’s government formation process continues, President Aoun can take pride in a singular achievement in having augmented his presidential powers. But most Lebanese don’t share the enthusiasm.

Now that the Taliban have seized control of Afghanistan, what will happen to women and girls?
@SaskiaBrech highlights how despite the Taliban’s claimed commitment to upholding “women’s rights under Islam,” eyewitness accounts tell a different story: ceip.org/p-85168
For decades, technology policies have been shaped by two competing approaches: one that empowers individuals and respects human rights, and one designed to give governments control.
@EvanFeigenbaum & @MikeNelson say South Korea offers a third way: ceip.org/p-85161
In this piece, @Rudra_81 outlines 3⃣ sets of issues that Indian leaders would need to tackle while crafting a new strategy to deal with a Taliban-led #Afghanistan.

Retweeted by Carnegie Endowment Nothing remotely resembling the “inclusive government” that the Taliban have promised is likely to appear in Afghanistan, while drug trafficking and religious extremism will mushroom.
Kirill Krivosheev assesses the fall-out from the Taliban’s takeover: ceip.org/p-85171
You don’t get to lose a war and expect the result to look like you’ve won it. That is the terrible truth that the collapse of the Afghan government has proved, but that some in Washington still refuse to accept.
@stephenwertheim writes in @washingtonpost: wapo.st/3gbAJ3G
The Taliban took over Afghanistan far more quickly than most anticipated, and the lives of many Afghans who assisted the U.S. still remain in danger.
11 Carnegie experts reflect on what these momentous changes mean for Afghanistan and for the world: ceip.org/p-85168
For the time being, an alignment of interests favors a forward Chinese policy into Afghanistan, while it has no reason to contain or even discourage the Taliban’s terrorist actions.
@FGodement assesses China’s stance on Afghanistan for @i_montaigne: institutmontaigne.org/en/blog/chinas…
The situation in Lebanon has deteriorated radically in recent months. Thus, the fact that President Aoun has blocked the formation of a government since last October may come back to haunt him.
@BeirutCalling writes in @TheNationalNews: thenationalnews.com/opinion/commen…
Russia may have bet on the Taliban coming to power, but its confidence in the Islamic militant group may be short-lived, as nothing remotely resembling the “inclusive government” it has promised is likely to appear.
Kirill Krivosheev explains: ceip.org/p-85171
Instead of accepting and learning from America’s loss in Afghanistan, some foreign policy leaders cling to old myths—that the U.S. should and could transform Afghanistan, if only it tried long and hard enough.
@stephenwertheim writes in @washingtonpost: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…

Retweeted by Carnegie Endowment You don’t get to lose a war and expect the result to look like you won it. Yet some in Washington are denying reality, calling for still more war and blaming Biden for their failure. To move forward, we must accept defeat.

@MohanadHageAli assesses Lebanon’s long descent into crisis: ceip.org/p-85057
In the wake of Iran’s latest elections, the world has largely focused on Ebrahim Raisi’s presidency. But other election results, in parliament and beyond, will profoundly affect the day-to-day lives of Iranians.

Retweeted by Carnegie Endowment Whether Tunisian President Kais Saied’s actions constitute a coup seems irrelevant at this point. He has sown the seeds of discord rather than consensus and helped gut the institutions that could maintain the rule of law.

The Taliban’s rapid advance in Afghanistan may appear to be a welcome development for its backers in neighboring Pakistan. But the ensuing fallout could complicate matters.
@AqilShah_ explains why Pakistan’s support for the Taliban is not risk-free: ceip.org/p-85152
