Agree that it was a very good brainstorming. @ObaidullaBaheer's articles on how to move forward in Afghanistan are worth reading. There is a large constituency for positive peace in #Afghanistan.

I had a detailed conversation with #UNAMA’s Political Head of Mission Scott Smith. The #UN is currently fighting an uphill battle to pave the way for positive peace in #Afghanistan. Scott has in-depth knowledge and loads of experience so it was interesting brainstorming together.

Glad to be part of this meeting. Very productive discussion with very knowledgeable people.

Afghanistan Women Leaders Movement @HrktAwlm reps today met UNAMA Political head Scott Smith. Many of these professionals held leadership positions but have been dismissed from their jobs. They want to offer their expertise to help to Afghanistan. The country could only benefit.
