Commending the Advocacy Work of the Afghanistan Journalists Center: A Message from Basarki Editor-in-Chief

Dear Afghanistan Journalists Center,

It is an immense pleasure to know that the Afghanistan Journalists Center is actively advocating for the rights and well-being of Afghan journalists and the media. My first encounter with this outstanding initiative was two years ago, during the founding stages when the founder was working tirelessly to establish a defense organization for journalists, with an objective to serve the industry both locally and regionally. Ever since my initial engagement, I have been keeping updated with the situation of journalists in Afghanistan and beyond, thanks to the informative Afghanistan Journalists Center website and personal contacts with the founder. I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to those who are responsible for this remarkable initiative. I am confident that this platform will succeed, both in terms of its growth and in enabling objective voices to be heard on behalf of the journalism community. Sincerely,

Ahmad Farzan
