HeadlineSep 16, 2008

In Los Angeles, about 200 Afghan Americans gathered in front of Federal Building on Sunday to protest the escalation of the US war in Afghanistan. Protesters included Dr. Nafisa Abdullah.

Dr. Nafisa Abdullah: “People are tired of war for thirty years, and I think we have to help them in terms of education, in terms of health, cultural exchanges, things of that nature — not to bring more armies and more soldiers in Afghanistan to go and kill.” (Video Courtesy: Fatima Mojaddidy & Arash Yousufi)
