| Video Discription | After Kabul fell to the Taliban on August 15, some Afghan journalists were forced to flee the country. A handful of them have resettled in the United States to begin a new life. VOA’s Matiullah Abid reports from Houston, Texas. Zabihullah Ghazi, an award-winning freelance reporter who has worked with numerous agencies including The New York Times and Voice of America, has now resettled in Houston, Texas. He is one of the hundreds of journalists who managed to flee Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in August 2021. Zabihullah Ghazi, Freelance Journalist: “If I know that it is safe to live, and one does not die from hunger, and at least there is an opportunity to work, [I will return]. No one wants to be a refugee or stay in other countries forever.” According to Reporters Without Borders, since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, 40% of media businesses have closed and approximately 6,400 journalists have lost their jobs. Ishaq Sadat worked for Enikass TV in Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan. His goal, he says, is to settle into his new life in Houston while continuing his studies. Ishaq Sadat, Former Afghan Journalist: “Now that I have arrived in the U.S., my plan is to study and become familiar with the new environment, and to use this experience in my country in the future. This will be a great achievement for me." Sadat says he feels home when he interacts with other Afghans living in the United States. Ishaq Sadat, Former Afghan Journalist: “When we see our Afghans, we feel a sense of community.” The State Department said in December that the U.S. government is funding the resettlement of 95,000 people who fled Afghanistan for the United States.
