Waqar Rizvi discusses the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan

I got my hands on a freelance political analyst, part of an Italy based think tank, a show host and a journalist of well over a decade, Mr. Waqar Rizvi to discuss the unfolding situation in Afghanistan. We discuss the haphazard departure of US, rapid takeover of the Taliban, terrified leadership and civilians, and the chaotic end to a 20 year long war. Are the Taliban capable of using diplomacy to govern? Are they just fighters or are they capable of governing a large landlocked, multi ethnic country? Can they guarantee fair human rights? Do they understand the evolved economic, judicial, welfare ways? How do the people of Afghanistan feel and are the danger? Find out answers to much more questions in today's episode of You, Me & a Mug of Tea.

Meet Mariam from Sibera, Russia!

The beginning of this podcast will let you in on my process of recording these with my guests. It's not always an ideal sitting but we make it work. The file was really bad in the beginning and I had to edit almost all of it and it broke my heart. Let me introduce you to another dear friend of mine, Mariam Iskhakova! She is half Tartar (have you ever heard of Tartarstan?) and half Russian. Learn about how she coped with difficult people and turned from a people pleaser to an assertive young woman. Enjoy it with your favorite mug of tea ✨
