Amanpour: Suhail Shaheen, Fawzia Koofi, Chuck Hagel and Tom Tugendhat

As the international community watches in shock as the Taliban takes control of Afghanistan at lightening speed and people frantically try escape the country, we take a look at what this means for the country and their political future. First, Taliban Spokesperson Suhail Shaheen joins Christiane Amanpour to answer questions about what will happen to the Afghan people now they’re in control. Then former Afghan lawmaker Fawzia Koofi speaks from the ground about the fear spreading amongst ordinary citizens and the reality that awaits women and girls. While former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says he supports the decision to withdraw, he explains that the White House underestimated the Afghan government's weakness. And British MP Tom Tugendhat, an Afghan veteran, argues the sudden withdrawal throws fuel on the fire of Afghanistan's 40-year war.
