This time I'm talking to Lotfullah Najafizada. He is an
award-winning journalist and director of TOLOnews, Afghanistan’s
top 24/7 news and current affairs TV channel.


Together we talked about the current situation in Afghanistan,
which is one of the most dangerous in the world due to the
Taliban and ISIS.


Although Afghanistan is among the world’s most dangerous places
to be a journalist, the country enjoys a vibrant media landscape.
However, press freedoms – a notable success of post-2001
Afghanistan – are not something Najafizada believes Afghans are
prepared to compromise on, because the influence of the media
played a significant role in emancipating Afghan society. He
believes young Afghans will not accept a return to the strict
Islamist society the Taliban wishes to reestablish in their
country, predicting a “backlash”.
