Thesis Book - Seeds of Hope

PANJSHIR, AFGHANISTAN
The largest Afghan community outside Afghanistan is
located in the UAE. In 2012, it was reported around 300,000
Afghans settled or residing in the UAE and these numbers are
growing. The Afghan community in the UAE has developed strong
relationships with many fields of corporations in the country
which contributes to achieving peace, security, tolerance,
and economic value between both parties. As of 2019, the
Afghan community in the UAE has invested about 4 billion
dollars in total assets in the UAE. A total of 500 well-known
Afghan businessmen have invested in the country thus the
community has bilaterally contributed to the economy of both
countries. The Afghan community in the UAE controls about 60%
of the total imports to Afghanistan making the community in
the UAE a major link between Afghanistan and the rest of the
world (“Afghanistan’s Relations with the Brother Country - the
UAE”). This is why the UAE is a perfect location for my project.
