About this sermon

This week marks the 1 year anniversary of the United States officially leaving Afghanistan. The withdrawal ended a 20 year war, the longest in US history. For one lawmaker in the country, the re-emergence of the Taliban is particularly painful. Azra Jafari made history in 2008, when she became the 1st female mayor of a city in Afghanistan. Her appointment by the country's then-president was seen as a sign of progress. Jafari joins to shares what the reaction was in Afghanistan when she was appointed mayor. She fills us in on how things are going. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
