Written on the very day the taliban fled Kabul… Peshawar was then pictured worldwide in the media as the most dangerous place on Earth… Well, that wasn’t my point of view! For me, it was still a border town, something like a Pakistani version of the Far West…

Certainly my most emotional chronicle so far: while their country is being bombed by the US forces across the border, some of our afghan staff working with us in Pakistan express their feelings of frustration and desire to leave, sometimes asking for help or advice to escape. We feel just as angry and powerless as they are, but how to answer to such questions and requests? What would do in their position? What is our moral duty? How to sleep at night with such dilemmas?…
