Canada strengthens the Afghan army to put down the insurgency
-Excerpt- Maj. Aleem Sajan, an aerospace engineer, will be working at Kabul’s air force university. He recently completed French language training in Quebec City, and while there he volunteered at a mosque attended by many Afghans. They taught him Dari when he wasn’t working to learn French. “We as Canadians are very well equipped for this job. We already have a multicultural society, so I would like to think we’re sensitive to the cultural side of that,” says Sajan, who immigrated to Canada from Tanzania at 14. “I grew up in a different culture. The training we did here, put together with that experience that I had in the past, will hopefully make me very proficient in what we’re trying to do.”
