A word from our founder
“As an Afghan who deeply knows and loves my country and its people, I created Afghan Peace Dialogue to foster a true and lasting peace — an Afghan-led peace, never an externally imposed one, involving the youth, women, ethnic groups and minorities who shape the nation’s future.”

Our vision
A New Narrative for Afghanistan
روایت نو برای افغانستان
Transitional peace through a four-stage national dialogue. Afghanistan suffers from three deficits — a lack of clarity, a lack of vision and a lack of national consensus. Until Afghans overcome them together, no lasting solution can take shape.
◆ STAGE I
Roots of the crisis
Lessons from past regimes and the role of regional and global powers.
◆ STAGE II
Shared pain, shared cure
Common values, and the future roles of women, youth, minorities and civil society.
◆ STAGE III
A new social contract
Models of governance, citizens’ rights, justice, environment and natural resources.
◆ STAGE IV
Roadmap for the future
A gradual transition from crisis to stability, with the diaspora and international partners.
Founding manifesto

Afghanistan needs a political solution. Peace requires inclusive inter-Afghan negotiations, national unity and merit — not ethnic power-sharing or foreign intervention.
