Welcome to Episode 81 of The Afghanistan Project, where we cover all topics related to two decades of war in Afghanistan, and the fallout of our Afghanistan withdrawal.
My guest today is Hamayun Khan, an author, independent researcher, financial professional, and education advocate. He is the founder of SolaTeach, an online initiative educating Afghan girls English and professional skills. His writing focuses on Afghanistan’s socio-economic and financial landscape, with work featured in The National Interest, The Diplomat, and The Migration Policy Institute. He has authored The Death Within, along with several book chapters, peer-reviewed papers, and op-eds, contributing to Afghanistan’s financial and economic development and policy.
In our episode, Hamayun talks about the economic impact the de facto government has had in Afghanistan, and about the message of The Death Within, which draws upon his own experience having had two students end their lives due to societal pressure while in college.
