AFGHANISTAN AND THE CIVIL SOCIETY

After Osama bin Laden’s death the debate on the withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan has intensified. What will the withdrawal mean for the Afghan people? What is the situation like for the population? Afghanistan has 30 million inhabitants and as so often happens during wars the civilians end up in the background. In Finding Ali, they are given a voice. Director Pål Hollender shows a country torn by war where the civilans clearly expresse their anger and frustration.

Director of PRIO Kristian Berg Harpviken, leader of the Afghanistan Comittee Linda Våge and the author of the international bestseller Afghanistan, Where God Only Comes to Weep (2002) meet for a debate led by Jarle Roheim Håkonsen from NRK.
