The Afghan economy has collapsed and the Afghan people are facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history. Millions of Afghans, especially children, are facing famine and lack access to adequate medical care. What has happened in Afghanistan since the withdrawal of US forces and the change of government last August? What should the US government be doing to address these urgent humanitarian needs? And what can we as United Methodists do?

Join us for an hour discussion with David Wildman on the current situation and steps we can take to address this urgent crisis.

SPEAKER:
David Wildman serves as the main representative to the UN for Global Ministries, the United Methodist Church. He is also the area liaison for the Middle East and Afghanistan. He has traveled to Afghanistan many times since 2004. David is co-author with Phyllis Bennis of Ending the US War in Afghanistan: A Primer (January 2010).
