“There are 18 million of us, and a whole lot of educated people who have been to school, a whole lot of people that are now professionals. These people are here and here to stay. Not all of them – because a lot are leaving – but some of us are staying.” Asked what she would say to Mullah Baradar if he agreed to meet the other Afghan on the Time list, Ms. Seraj has a ready answer: “If they gave me 15 minutes to talk, I would say ‘please let’s leave all of the prejudgments on one side. Let’s take a look at Afghanistan, not from the point of view of men and women, but let’s take a look at Afghanistan from the point of view of its people. And let’s see what we can do to make life better for both the men and women of this country.
