Sarah's work with Afghans for Civil Society put pressure
on the Afghan government to crack down on warlords. Governor
Gul Agha Shirzai was effectively asked to resign his command

Gul Agha Shirzai maintains strong business ties to Kandahar
and is rumored to still have full control of his militia
of approximately 20,000 men. He has recently expressed
interest in running again for governor, in the next election.
