Dear Afghanistan Journalists Center,
Congratulations on the launch of your impressive website. It is always heartening to learn of new media outlets that help spread information and awareness. Every new outlet represents more eyes and ears opening to the world around them, making it the society's "eye and ear." As an information and public awareness advocacy portal, your website is like a candle illuminating dark places or fresh air in a stagnant room. The AFJC website represents the true meaning of media. I have learned much about media and journalist conditions and updates through your website. In times when many are silenced, beaten, and jailed, the AFJC website is a critical tool for Afghan journalists. I believe your website has filled a critical gap in public awareness about the vital work of journalists and their conditions. I offer my best wishes for success to all those involved in this excellent initiative.
Sincerely,
Abdul Mujib Khilwatgar
