Omeed (Hope)

The Afghan diaspora has struggled for generations as empires have arrived in our country, fought for control, and left a trail of despair leading back home. It has always been known as the country that could never be conquered. The cost of this reputation for resilience are generations of instability. After 20 years of some social and political progress, our country faces another struggle for control. No one can say for certain what the future holds for the people of Afghanistan, and no one denies the the turmoil that the Afghan community faces in this moment. However, we must remember that no one can restore social and political progress in Afghanistan except the Afghan people themselves. This episode aims to remind people of the diaspora that, together, we have the best interest of Afghanistan in mind. Only we can succeed at restoring safety, stability, and peace in Afghanistan. To do so, we must maintain faith, hope, and unity in these times of hardship. #SaveAfghanistan
