Author Talk - "Not Our Problem" In-Person

Abdulhaq Sodais served as a interpreter for the U.S. Army during the Afghan War. He was promised help emigrating to the US as the war ended. However, this process was much more difficult than he imagined. Learn more about this journey and the story of his friendship with U.S. Army Lieutenant, Spencer Sullivan.

Sodais and Sullivan co-wrote Not Our Problem: The True Story of an Afghan Refugee, an American Promise, and the World Between Them, which released in April 2026. Copies of the book are expected to be available for purchase.

This program will be held at the Riverside Presbyterian Church, located at 116 Barrypoint Road.

Co-hosted by the Riverside Area Refugee Resettlement Team and the Riverside Public Library.
