Tomorrow, 7 September, at 7 p.m., Casa Árabe will present the conference Twenty Years after 11-S: Unfulfilled Missions, with two experts on the issue: Jesús Núñez Villaverde, co-director of the Institute of Studies on Conflict and Humanitarian Action (IECAH), and Barah Mikail, associate professor and director of the Political Science and International Relations Programme at Saint Louis University. The event will be moderated by Cristina Manzano, director of esglobal.
11 September 2001 marked the spectacular irruption of terrorism on the world’s screens, live and in full colour. The attack on the twin towers implied a paradigm shift in terms of security and asymmetric wars, but also in terms of communication and propaganda, extremism and the arms race, international alliances and new non-state actors. Two decades have passed and the images of destruction have followed one after the other: from New York to Kabul, from Baghdad to Guantánamo, from Aleppo to Paris, from Istanbul to Tripoli and back to Kabul, where today the Islamic State movement is expanding while the Taliban retake power, taking advantage of the withdrawal of Western forces. Registration is required to attend in person. The conference can also be followed on Casa Árabe’s YouTube channel.
