About
As a freelance print journalist, Brianne Leary traveled covertly inside Afghanistan during the Soviet Occupation.

(Hakim Aryubi and Brianne Leary, Paktia Province, Afghanistan, 1985)
15 years later, like so many Americans reeling from 9/11, Brianne felt a need to do something that mattered and returned to Afghanistan…this time around as a correspondent for CNN.

In the years that have ensued, Afghanistan has begun to fade from the headlines and may once again be lost to the tyranny and horrors of the Taliban Regime. Recently, Brianne’s friends from inside Afghanistan have asked her to help bring the eyes of the world back into their country.

Thus…SavingAfghanistan.com. It is Brianne’s hope that by providing and consolidating information from various media outlets, along with personal dispatches through the eyes and with the words of the people living inside Afghanistan, she in someway will help achieve that end.
