Ashraf Haidari, Class of 2001, recently gave a lecture at a week-long program given by the McGill Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism. Ashraf’s focus was on Canada’s role in Afghanistan. He sees the Canadian role as shifting from peace keeping to peace building. Ashraf urged the Canadian government to continue their efforts in his homeland and not to withdraw at this critical point in the nation’s history.

Ashraf’s current position is Counselor for Political, Security, and Development Affairs at the Washington, DC Embassy. For more information on Ashraf, click here.
