Dozens of Afghan artists who fled to Pakistan following the Taliban’s return to power are still living in uncertainty. For the past four years, these individuals have been residing in Peshawar, facing a lack of legal status and severe economic hardships with no clear path forward regarding their resettlement.
Hashmat Omid, an Afghan artist, reveals that his artistic activities have come to a complete halt due to the circumstances. He describes a daily struggle for survival, noting that living conditions are deteriorating rapidly for the creative community stranded across the border without income or support.
The group has issued a plea to international organizations to address their precarious situation immediately. They are calling for urgent support and legal processing to escape the limbo that has stalled their lives and careers for years .
