Talking about Afghanistan

Here’s the transcript of an interview I did last week with Fatima Gailani, the president of Afghanistan’s Red Crescent Society (their equivalent of the Red Cross). In the interview, Gailani discusses the challenge of reconstruction in a country where childbirth is a gravely risky moment, NGOs have to avoid getting on the wrong side of insurgents, and Canadian Forces’ work, she says, is highly useful -- as long as soldiers stick to soldiering.
