Dr Lucy Morgan Edwards is a former political advisor to the EU Ambassador in Kabul, with responsibility for civil military affairs, narcotics, and security sector reform.

During her seven years in Kabul, she also worked for the UN at the height of the Taliban regime, was a correspondent for The Economist and The Daily Telegraph, and was the initial researcher for the International Crisis Group on transitional justice issues.

She also spent many months in Jalalabad, Eastern Afghanistan, with a leading tribal family. While there, she developed forensic insight into the post-9/11 political situation.

Dismayed by what she saw, and learned, she wrote a book about her experiences: The Afghan Solution.

Lucy has a profound understanding of the aims and effects of foreign intervention and the pursuit of endless wars that allow corporations to profit from taxpayers’ money.

In this conversation with Charles Malet, Lucy relates her experiences two decades ago to the currently ascending geopolitical volatility of 2026. Lucy is on X.
