Commander Ahmad Massoud

First, for example, I was with some colleagues today that they saw me from early morning, I'm going to this meeting, to that meeting, basically running everywhere.

And they were like, oh, how can you do it?

And I said, because when I think of those people inside, it gave me courage.

It gave me energy.

And what I do, it's nothing compared to what they are going through.

So first is hope.

And second, to be very honest, it's so difficult that I'd rather not to be alive than to carry this responsibility.

It's that difficult.

Especially if you have principle and you care.

If you don't care about the livelihood of people, it's easy.

But if you care, it's too difficult.

If you care about those brothers you have in the mountains, you think about them.

How are they?

Are they hungry?

Are they fed?

Imagine what you, because they have nothing.

How can you give them something?

Food, water, and I know why they are there.

And those families who gave their lives,

for the causes that I told them and that we all believe in those noble causes.
