As the fate of the Afghan people hangs in the balance, we spoke to Sher Jan Ahmadzai, the Director of Center for Afghanistan Studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Mr. Ahmadzai’s areas of specialty are Afghan governance, tribal dynamics and the relationship between the two.
He says Afghan citizens feel frustrated and betrayed by the decision to pull American troops from their country.
“Women, school children, aspired to become doctors and juniors because they know–they knew–that Americans are with them, standing by them. And these promises, and these guarantees are gone.”
