The security situation in Afghanistan is quickly deteriorating. Since 2017, the Taliban have held more Afghan territory than at any time since the American invasion in 2001. Attacks against governmental forces, police and civilians are reported more or less daily. This is of special interest for European countries, as several of them host a big number of Afghan asylum seekers, many of whom arrived in 2015.

The aim of this conference is to improve the understanding of the current situation in Afghanistan, and thus contribute to the migration authorities' assessments of security and risks for returnees.

Specially invited lecturer is Professor William Maley, Professor of Diplomacy at the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy, Australia.
