The courageous Afghan women behind the failed Taliban peace talks

The new documentary "The Sharp Edge of Peace" begins with a harrowing scene: Fawzia Koofi, a former member of Afghanistan’s parliament and a women's rights activist, recovering in a hospital bed after surviving an assassination attempt in August 2020.
Koofi was a key figure among women negotiators, including Fatima Gailani, Habiba Sarabi, and Sharifa Zurmati, involved in the intra-Afghan talks in Doha, Qatar, aimed at striking a peace deal with the Taliban ahead of the United States' complete withdrawal in 2021.
We spoke to Koofi and Gailani about their experience.
