Escaping the Taliban: Malyar's Journey from Kabul to America
Malyar Meraj shares his journey from growing up in Kabul, Afghanistan, to
starting a new life in the U.S. after working with the U.S. military put his life
at risk. Facing Taliban threats, he sought safety through a Special Immigrant
Visa and arrived in the U.S. in 2017. Adjusting to a new culture and working
long hours, he gradually found his footing, earning a supervisory role and
balancing the demands of raising three young children with his wife. He
expresses a deep love for Afghanistan but remains critical of the Taliban's
oppressive policies.
Malyar's story is marked by acts of courage, both in dangerous situations in
Afghanistan and in navigating the challenges of building a life in a new
country. He draws inspiration from others who stand up against oppression,
like a recently killed Pashtun activist, and hopes to visit his homeland again if
the Taliban regime ends. His experiences offer a powerful reminder of
resilience and the courage it takes to rebuild in the face of adversity.
