GRITtv Extra: Women Among Warlords
We hear a lot about women in Afghanistan, but their voices too often are silenced. On Tuesday, October 27, GRITtv host Laura Flanders moderated a panel at CUNY's Center for Place, Culture and Politics with Afghan activists Malalai Joya, the first female Afghan parliamentarian, Awista Ayub and Nasrine Gross to discuss their work rebuilding their country. Check out this clip from the panel. Thanks to CUNY for hosting the event!

Tuesday morning Matthew Hoh, a Foreign Service officer and former Marine, became the first U.S. official to resign in protest over the conduct of the war. Just what is the purpose of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan? Are we really there to protect people from the Taliban and to fight Al-Qaeda? Joining us to discuss are Kristen L. Rouse, Nasrine Gross, Yifat Susskind and Jodie Evans of CodePink, who just returned from Afghanistan.
