Stephen Sackur speaks to Afghanistan’s Ambassador to Pakistan,
Omar Zakhilwal. When Ashraf Ghani became president of Afghanistan
two years ago he talked of new diplomatic cooperation with
Pakistan, aimed at ending the war with the Taliban. As so often
before hopes have been dashed. The war goes on, relations between
Kabul and Islamabad have soured and the Afghan people still live
with a dysfunctional government and broken economy. Is
Afghanistan beyond salvation?
