The Center on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World is pleased to invite you to the Afghanistan-Pakistan Young Leaders Forum. The seminar will bring together four students each from Afghanistan and Pakistan to discuss the many challenges and opportunities currently facing their countries. Our panelists will cover key issues such as the militant Islamist groups, democracy and establishment of the rule of law, education, poverty, and the future of moderate Islam in both countries.
The seminar will be organized and led by two Hudson Institute interns: Jawanshir Rasikh, an Afghan Fulbright student at James Madison University, and Mariam Sabri, a student at Mt. Holyoke College from Karachi, Pakistan.
Participants in the roundtable discussion will include the following:
