Activists in Afghanistan are in danger. The Taliban Takeover in the 1990's and in 2021 put serious strains on the economy, killed thousands, and denounced women as citizens under Shariah law.

In this episode, Rai Jordan interviews two Afghan Activists. Lailuma Sadid, a journalist with the Brussels Morning Newspaper, and a civil rights activists based in Afghanistan.
