A new coalition called the People’s Alliance of the East Zone was officially launched on Tuesday at an event in Nangarhar that was supported by dozens of local residents.

The alliance was formed by tribal elders and residents from the eastern provinces of Nangarhar, Kunar and Nuristan, as well as a number of Afghan lawmakers.
