In Afghanistan’s capital Kabul, thousands of people, mainly from Shia Hazara communities, have rallied against a national energy project. The problem is about the rout of transmission lines that would supply power to central provinces. As our correspondent Fayez Khorshid reports, the protestors are asking the government to re-route the project to areas that are still languishing without electricity.
