The American Invasion/Occupation of Afghanistan and the Birth of a National Liberation Movement

We mark the 63rd anniversary of the formal independence of South Asian countries from colonialism on this day. We affirm our commitment to the struggle for true democracy and social justice in South Asia and we express solidarity with all movements against injustice and oppression.

We invite you to a talk by Marc W. Herold.

Marc Herold is an Associate Professor of Economic Development and Womens Studies at the University of New Hampshire, who has been monitoring and writing extensively since 2001 about the socio-economic history of Afghanistan, US/NATO military strategy, the Afghan resistance, and the human costs of the Afghan war. Some of his work is available at http://wsbe2.unh.edu/marc-w-herold and http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mwherold/.
