 Afghan National Civil Order Police and Marines of Weapons Company 1st Battalion 8th Marine Regiment host a SHURA for local citizens in Kajaki. The SHURA is an open forum for any members of the community to speak. The good thing that the SHURA does when it's public and it's open to a large mass, if the village elder isn't addressing an issue that one local national has, then that local national has the ability to bring that up to the crowd. The Marines have held weekly SHURAs to stay connected with the local community. Different things come from different SHURAs. Sometimes they're more focused on the security aspect. Sometimes they're more focused on what they want or what they need. And sometimes they're more focused on what's going on in the surrounding areas. The SHURAs also give Afghans a chance to meet with the ANCOP officers who are responsible for security in their village.
