EP92: We are not victims. But we must stand up for Afghan equality, liberty & freedom (w/ Fmr. Afghan Minister Nargis Nehan)

For our first segment, David is off prancing in Washington, D.C.,
so Yaël gives a reaction to the Facebook "whistleblower" and the
politicians chomping at the bits to get in on social media
regulation.


INTERVIEW: Nargis Nehan was formerly the Afghan Minister of Mines
and Petroleum,  and worked in various positions at the
Ministry of Finance the Ministry of Education, the Afghan Central
Bank, and served as an advisor to the President of Afghanistan
for two years.


She eventually left the government and founded EQUALITY for Peace
and Democracy (EPD) a civil society organization for empowering
women and youth across 16 provinces of Afghanistan.
