Afghan Canadians are returning to their homeland to help aid agencies, to advise the new Afghan government and in some cases to join the Canadian soldiers hunting Taliban insurgents in the restive southern province of Kandahar.
At least 15 Afghan Canadians -- the military will not give exact numbers for security reasons -- have signed on to work as interpreters for the Canadian army.
"These guys are all volunteers," said Robert Newman, a spokesman for the Department of National Defence. "They stepped up and volunteered for this work. They're civil servants, civilian employees of DND."
