IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Saeedullah Safi
In their own words
Translated from Pashto. Dates and durations are retained as written.
I was in Afghanistan. I studied there and worked there. I was very happy there, and I feel good.
Two years ago I migrated to Pakistan. I was there for three years. Those days brought me the most experience of my life, and they were not without difficulties.
I did not give up there either. To stay connected with my country, I founded Afghan Times together with my wife, Salma Niazi. We worked hard to serve our country.
In 2023 we came to Ireland. Here we have a happy life and many opportunities. Here, too, we write stories about our country through Afghan Times and stay connected with our people.
زه په افغانستان کې وم. هلته مې زده کړې وکړې، کار مې وکړ. زه هلته ډېر خوشحاله وم او ښه احساس مې کوم.
دوه کلونه وړاندې زه پاکستان ته مهاجر شوم. هلته درې کلونه وم او دا زما د ژوند تر ټولو زیاتې تجربې ډکې ورځې او همدارنګه د مشکلاتو څخه هم خالي نه وې.
زه هلته هم تسلیم نه شوم. خپل هیواد سره د وصل پاتې کیدو لپاره مې خپلې میرمن سلما نیازۍ سره د افغان ټایمز بنسټ کېښود. سخت کار مو وکړ چې خپل هیواد ته خدمت وکړو.
په ۲۰۲۳ کال کې مونږ ایرلنډ هیواد ته راغلو. دلته مونږ خوشحاله ژوند لرو، ډېر فرصتونه او دلته هم د خپل هیواد کیسې د افغان ټایمز له لارې لیکو او خپلو خلکو سره وصل پاتې کیږو.
The manuscript says “two years ago” and “three years” in Pakistan. This apparent inconsistency has not been silently corrected.
