Wearing a wrist-watch bearing the image of Gandhi, and citing Nelson Mandela as a source of inspiration, Nader Nadery is working for peace and human rights in Afghanistan. In his 30s, he has never known his country at peace. At the age of 8 his primary school was destroyed by the Mujahideen, in his twenties he was arrested and tortured by the Taliban. He could escape.. he could live in the Netherlands or Germany or the UK… but he has chosen to remain – at great personal risk – and remains optimisitic about the future of Afghanistan. Lyse Doucet in conversation.
Lyse Doucet speaks to Saad Mohseni who has become known as Afghanistan's answer to Rupert Murdoch. Until recently he would have accepted that as a huge compliment, perhaps no longer. But, either way, Mohseni is a big player. Running his media empire out of offices in Dubai and Kabul, he's revolutionised TV and Radio broadcasting in Afghanistan by introducing local versions of international hits like Afghan Star (a singing competition in the X-Factor mould) and controversial radio programmes where male and female broadcasters are in studio together.
Lyse Doucet talks to Masood Khalili, Afghanistan's Ambassador to Spain and the only survivor of an Al Quaeda bomb attack on September 9th 2001 in Takhar.
