Five Years After the Fall of Kabul with IAF

Five years after the fall of Kabul, what is happening in Afghanistan and here in Traverse City? On Thursday, Sept. 3, at Milliken Auditorium from 6:30-8:30pm, Traverse City’s International Affairs Forum will look back on the anniversary of 9/11, the 20-year war in Afghanistan, and the regime change earlier this decade. The event will offer a “compelling panel on the human impact of the 2021 evacuation and its direct connection to Traverse City,” which includes Greta C. Holtz, president and CEO of AmidEast and former U.S. Ambassador to Oman who oversaw evacuations in Qatar; resettled Afghan members of the northern Michigan community; and retired diplomat Karen Puschel Segal. Admission is free for all attendees, though registration is required at tciaf.com/event-september-3-2026.
