RFE/RL's Afghan Service Director Akbar Ayazi, who moderated the recent presidential debate in Kabul, looks at how Afghans are reacting to President Obama's speech in this vide below (1:03).

"Overall, they're happy for the strategy, but there are some points that they're not happy about," says Ayazi. "In particular, the exit strategy. Afghans want to know, if the U.S. is going to leave, what will happen to democracy, the human rights issues, and nation building."
