Amanpour: Suhail Shaheen, Nader Nadery, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Susan Glasser

After the U.S. announced plans to withdraw, Taliban fighters seized large swathes of territory. Spokesman Suhail Shaheen joins Christiane Amanpour to explain the Taliban's thinking. Nader Nadery also weighs in, a senior member of the Afghan peace negotiation team, who says the Taliban is intimidating communities and that a ceasefire is needed now. Then award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie talks about the devastating loss of her father, mother and aunt during the pandemic at a time of collective mourning in the world. Susan Glasser is Staff Writer for The New Yorker and the author of a bombshell article published last week that revealed that Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Milley was engaged in a staunch fight to stop Trump from striking Iran after losing the election. She unpacks all this with our Michel Martin.
