His homeland has continually been rocked by bloodshed and violence, but Alizada stays upbeat. “The destruction here makes me sad, but it also inspires me,” he told Reuters. “The only news that comes from Afghanistan is about war… I am happy that my story is a positive one.” So are we, Abbas, so are we.
