Afghanistan Afghan Youths Stage Protest Against Warlords

[Sher Malang]

KABUL -- Hundreds of Afghan youths have protested in Kabul against the country's former warlords.

The protest, the second in less than a week, comes amid an unprecedented campaign against the strongmen.

Members of several political youth groups, including the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan, burned posters and chanted slogans condemning the warlords.

The demonstration comes after a contentious national holiday that honored the former warlords on April 28, known as Mujahedin Victory Day.

Before the holiday, on April 24, members of the Afghan Freedom-Loving Youth Group swept through the streets of Kabul putting up hundreds of posters and spraying graffiti messages critical of the warlords.

Many of the former warlords, who are accused of war crimes by human rights groups, still wield significant influence in the country's political affairs.

Excellent,education spurs nationalism and a drive for actual development rather than being puppets to the whim of these few feudal style warlords.

Northern Alliance work for Indian interests in Afghanistan and help India secure contracts and influence.

If Afghani youth were educated enough, they have had demanded audit and transparency in awarding of contracts, instead of running after the puppets who sell Afghan interests on tiny bribes.

Maybe Pakistan should stop supporting the Taliban? Giving them money and resources to blow themselves up in public areas killing women and children?
