Afghans protest in London

by New Worker correspondent

Thousands of protesters, mainly from the Afghan community in Britain, marched through central London last weekend to call for an end to Pakistani interference in their country and "immediate action" from the international community to stop the Taliban.
    The “Free Afghanistan – Sanction Pakistan” demonstration was supported by the Afghan Association Paiwand, a charity dedicated to helping refugees and asylum seekers in the UK and a number of other groups of Afghan exiles including supporters of the old king and the recently toppled puppet regime. But some remembered the good old days of the Afghan people’s republic which overthrew the old order in 1978 and outlived the Soviet Union until it finally fell to the imperialist-armed Mujahadeen militias in 1992. At least four of them bought copies of the New Worker on the day.
