Several hundred representatives from Khogiyani, Sherzad, Hesarak, and Pachir Wa Agam districts staged the rally in front of the governor's office. The demonstrators said U.S. military personnel should only conduct searches of homes after coordinating their plans with the provincial governor, district heads, and the local security departments.
A resident of Khogiyani asked why when the people in the four districts are "abiding by the law of the government," and have destroyed poppy fields, U.S. soldiers "raid" their homes. Police were present, though no clashes were reported. Nangarhar's governor has reportedly decided to hold talks with the demonstrators.
