He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money...
to make concerted efforts to advance the grinding of the peace processor, and make sure Afghanistan’s interests are put first.

of being involved in the attacks on journalists, and especially female media workers in Afghanistan, and despite the efforts for peace violence has escalated.

Human Rights Watch claimed that "the Taliban commanders and fighters have engaged in a pattern of threats, intimidation, and violence against members of the media in areas where the Taliban have significant influence, as well as in Kabul."

According to the watchdog journalism and freedom of media and speech are under the direct threat of extremism.

As the violence gets intensified in Afghanistan, the Acting Defense Minister Gen. Yasin Zia, and the head of the National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
, Ahmad Zia Saraj indicated that the Taliban are still being facilitated through Pakistain and the entire world knows of their sanctuaries in Pakistain.

According to Gen.Yasin Zia, In trilateral meetings Taliban elders including Bajwa (Pakistain’s army chief) and Head of ISI have many times said they have ties with the Taliban.

Zia added the Taliban claims to have bases in Afghanistan is because they want to decrease the international pressures on Pakistain.

Talibs have always used civilians as human shields for their atrocities, Zia indicated.

Pakistain gives treatment to the maimed Taliban, the country is the main funding source of the group and the forces of Evil even have massive operating and training bases, Zia added.

Taliban claims of their camps inside Afghanistan is a deceptive move to mislead the international community and reduce pressure on Pakistain, Saraj explained.

Saraj hinted that the Taliban are planning to reshuffle their bases in the future because Pakistain is being criticized in every meeting because of the presence of the Taliban and their leaders there.

The NDS chief also said that the Taliban are behind the assassinations in Afghanistan, he added the Afghan government cannot draw lines between the terrorist groups as they appear in many shapes such as ISIS, Taliban, and Lashkar-e-Tayyeba, but the main actor behind them are Taliban.

Saraj concluded that the Taliban does not want peace, they are currently busy harvesting poppies to prepare for battle.
