Dialogue between the Afghan government and insurgents is ongoing, but how did talks begin? How did the government identify who to talk with? And what is so special about this insurgency? In this podcast, we address these questions and more.
This is the first podcast of two recorded during our meeting in December 2010 about Talking while fighting: conditions and modalities.
