Afghan refugees fear as world moves towards international ties with the Taliban.
“We don’t know if we will be forgotten.” Sometime early on July the 4th 2025, photographers sat patiently outside a building in Moscow.

I remember turning on the TV and watching as men and women clung to the…

An Afghan’s story: The Silent Genocide.
“I am Hazara, and I belong to Afghanistan” The rugged landscape of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is notoriously governed by the widely unrecognised government of the Taliban—a theocratic totalitarian regime that took power following the controversial withdrawal of America and her allies on August 15th, 2021.

I spent 10 days with Afghan Refugees in Pakistan, this is what I learnt.
There are often moments in our lives that mould us in some way. A defining day, hour, or minute that changes our perspective of the world. For me, my 2025 trip to Pakistan was such a moment: a defining lesson, one that I believe the world should know about. Eight months ago, I was deeply…
