Afghan filmmakers union under fire for poor management

Some Afghan film makers are lambasting at leadership of the Afghan Filmmakers Union (AFU), for what they call violation of union’s approved procedures. They claim that contrary to AFU procedure, Jawan Sher Haidari has been leading the union for more than ten years. 

According to the endorsed procedure of the AFU, the union’s director, its leadership, and administrative board members need to be elected by a congress held annually by the AFU members, but the union has failed to hold a congress since the establishment of the AFU.
