I’ll be guest hosting today’s Your Call’s Media Roundtable, when we’ll discuss the vicious power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan. This escalation of violence has created a humanitarian crisis of immense proportion, turning the Khartoum into a war zone. Hundreds have died and tens of thousands are fleeing to neighboring countries. What is next for Sudan?
Joining us will be Mat Nashed, journalist and analyst specializing in the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on Sudan.
Then later in the program we’ll cover America and the Taliban, a new Frontline series that traces America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan.
Drawing on decades of on-the-ground reporting and interviews with Taliban and U.S. officials, this epic three-part investigation traces how America’s 20-year investment in Afghanistan culminated in Taliban victory and examines the missteps and consequences.
Joining us will be:
- Marcela Gaviria, award winning journalist and filmmaker with Rain Media
- Martin Smith, award winning senior producer and foreign correspondent for FRONTLINE

Today on Your Call’s Media Roundtable, I’ll be guest hosting a discussion about Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary loss on Tuesday, as well as her record in Congress. Cheney and seven other House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump have now either lost primary races or are retiring from Congress. What does this mean for the future of the Republican Party and our upcoming elections? Joining us will be:
- John Nichols, the national-affairs correspondent for The Nation and author of several books, including The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party: The Enduring Legacy of Henry Wallace’s Anti-Fascist, Anti-Racist Politics.
Later in the program, we’ll talk about the new PBS Frontline documentary Afghanistan Undercover, which details the plight of women in Afghanistan and their struggle for gender equality. Correspondent Ramita Navai will talk about how she was able to report this story and the latest on women’s status in that country.
