The long wait
'Peace is the highest desire鈥� says Roya Rahmani, Afghanistan鈥檚 ambassador to the US.
The US and the Taliban are reportedly inching closer to a breakthrough in peace talks. But the Afghan government has been notably missing from these negotiations. Afghanistan's first female ambassador to the US, Roya Rahmani, says that the Afghan government's position regarding the talks is that 鈥榩eace is the highest desire.鈥�
Also, we鈥檒l take you Tijuana, Mexico, just south of the US border, where migrants from all over the world are waiting for a chance to enter the US; and long lost relatives reunite and share their family history after being seperated by a legacy of slavery.
