Our Podcast is live - Welcome to Beyond the Frontline

Every nation has a story. For Afghans, the tragedy is that ours has almost always been told by someone else, soldiers, diplomats, journalists, politicians, foreigners, aid workers. Everyone but us.

In this premiere episode of Beyond the Frontline, we take you behind the headlines to reclaim the Afghan story. From the fall of Kabul on August 15, 2021, to the collapse of social order that followed, we explore the human experiences, the betrayals, and the truths often buried beneath foreign narratives and domestic corruption.

This isn’t about pity or charity. It’s about understanding the reality of war, the consequences of power, and the resilience of ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances. You’ll hear firsthand insights from someone who lived the Afghan experience as a soldier, an analyst, and a witness to history.

What you’ll get in this episode:

* An unfiltered look at Afghanistan’s collapse in 2021

* Reflections on corruption, foreign interference, and the human cost of war

* The voices and stories that never made it to headlines or policy discussions

Why listen?Because Afghanistan is not unique, the forces that destroyed it exist elsewhere. This podcast connects the Afghan story to global struggles in governance, migration, and conflict. It’s about truth, memory, and connection.
