The panel on Afghanistan, included morethan Phyllis Bennis. There were also three women (two Canadian and
one American) from Afghans for Peace.
They had found each other through
Facebook and shared a frustration at NATO policy toward Afghanistan
and wanted to deepen their connection and support for the country.
One of the issues they discussed was
not having a media outlet to tell the news from an Afghan point of
view. When I talked to them afterward, they also noted that
communicating amongst the Afghan diaspora was challenging too.
