In this episode, we talk to the Afghan activist Sahar Saba about the situation in Afghanistan, its impact on the population (especially women and minorities) and finally, how *not* to talk about Afghanistan. Hence, we eschew all talk of lashkhars this and networks that dominate mainstream coverage of the country.
Completely subverting the point of the video, Usman and I yap on till 8:00, please skip to the that point in case you would prefer just listening to Sahar
