Afghanistan: America’s Longest War

Last August, the US pulled out of Afghanistan, ending a 20-year war. The abrupt pullout triggered a refugee crisis, with more than 76,000 Afghan refugees arriving in the US afterward. In this episode, we speak to Mangal Mohmand (who arrived as a refugee from Afghanistan 8 years ago) to discuss his experience and the process of resettling his family in America. We also speak to Asma Khan, president of the Triangle Association of Muslim American Mothers (TAMAM), about the nonprofit’s charitable work which includes refugee resettlement.
