A group of writers, reporters and editors from Pakistan is in Jacksonville right now through a government program with the U.S. Department of State and the nonprofit GlobalJax.
They met with local reporters to talk about democracy and investigative journalism.
“Yes, there’s big concern about Ukraine,” said Muhammad Irfan, an executive producer at the large Pakistani news channel Geo News. “For 15 years every day, we had bomb,” he said, talking about the War on Terror. “We lost around 80,000 Pakistanis killed in that war. 5,000 of our security guys were killed.”While opinions from the general Pakistani public are more split on the invasion than those of Americans, they believe the war must end. They’re keeping a keen eye on the conflict and what happens next.
The visiting writers, reporters and editors said they’re learning a lot about democracy through GlobalJax and Americans are fortunate to live in a relatively safe and protected country.
