It's been 25 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the
US-led invasion of Afghanistan that brought Hamid Karzai, then a
little-known tribal leader, to power.

Two decades later, Karzai witnessed the chaotic withdrawal of
American forces as the Taliban swept back into Kabul in 2021.
While many people left Afghanistan, he chose to stay.

Today, Karzai lives under virtual house arrest and rarely gives
interviews. He says his eldest daughter, like all girls over the
age of 12, is no longer able to go to school.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain, he explains why he won’t
send his daughters to be educated overseas, and why he remains
hopeful for the future of his country.
