An Afghan Star shining in the US <3

While working at Tolo Tv طلوع​ I had the pleasure of working with Sajid Jannaty​ on Season 10 of Afghan Star​. We become close friends and I enjoyed working with him and Zuhal Nazari on the backstage program for the show.

But years before Sajid joined Tolo, he worked for several years as a translator for the US Marine Corp in Helmand, Afghanistan. He was very young and it was very dangerous work. Despite the hazards he faced, he served with distinction, impressing the US officers he worked for with his drive and intelligence. And the US military never leaves a comrade behind on the battlefield.

A few days ago Sajid immigrated from Afghanistan to the United States of America to start the long but rewarding journey towards American citizenship. I cannot be more happy for Sajid and I know that he’ll make a great contribution to both Afghanistan and America as a US citizen. Keeping going Sajid jan, my brother from another mother. <3
