“History has shown that when leaders choose conflict over wisdom, it is always the innocent people who pay the price, through loss, poverty, and endless grief,” Yousafzai said.
The Afghan journalist highlighted that a true leader should prioritize peace, dignity, and stability rather than bringing war closer to their people.
He noted that war is not a sign of strength or political skill, but instead is a failure that leaves behind only pain and tears. “Afghan people deserve better. They deserve peace,” he concluded.
