Testimonials

“It was my pleasure to have worked with Sardar Ahmad in April 2009 on a story for ABC-TV Australia’s Foreign Correspondent Program. Working in Afghanistan can be a challenge at the best of times, but our task was made considerably easier through Sardar and his Kabul Pressistan involvement. He was focused, highly efficient and provided good analytical background for a complex assignment. I highly recommend the services of Kabul Pressistan for visiting journalists," Mark Corcoran, Reporter/Producer ABC-TV Australia

“Working in Afghanistan for the first time, I expected things to be a bit chaotic. With Sardar and his team everything became possible whether in Kabul or in Kunduz and within very short delays. Thanks to his professionalism and resourcefulness, I met everyone I wanted and was able to travel where I wanted with no delays or stress. No bad surprises. It was almost like working in Switzerland... although a bit more exciting. Hope to be back soon for some more good times.” Patrick Saint-Paul, Berlin Bureau Chief, Le Figaro

“I am very happy with all of your services, very professional, punctual, good updates and follow-ups and excellent on-the-ground fixer with great translation skills and attitude. (I) will recommend Kabul Pressistan to others. Keep up the good work... Pia Heikkila, on an assignment for GUARDIAN FILMS

“Kabul Pressistan was a great help during my stay in Kabul. This was my first time in Afghanistan and as much as one can read up on the country and the dos and don’ts the reality on the ground was very different. Finding a good and trustworthy driver or fixer can be tough unless you know someone there or who has been there and can help you out. Freelance journalists who are there for the first time will do well to remember that getting any thing done in Kabul can be like walking through a minefield and having an experienced helping hand like Sardar Ahmad (with his extensive contacts and journalistic experience) and Kabul Pressistan is a godsend. This may sound like a PR thing for Kabul Pressistan but I also have them on good recommendation by another resident journalist I met at a restaurant in Kabul. This agency definitely comes highly recommended!... Simon Lim, Freelance Photojournalist, Singapore.

"Thank you, that’s perfect, I feel lazy now, you’ve done all the
work... Claire Billet, Kabul Correspondent, France 24


"I highly appreciated your wonderful sense of organisation and your efficiency (a big help indeed) I also enjoyed discussing the situation in Afghanistan with you. Promise to resume it next time... as I am looking forward to working with you soon." Marie-France Calle South Asia Bureau Chief, Le Figaro

 


"We're working with Kabul Pressistan for quite a long time now. Printing their news and feature articles which I always find precise, reliable and well written quality. Our magazine has benefited considerably. We do recommend them, and we work for a long term relationship... Dag Herbjørnsrud, editor-in-chief, Ny Tid (Norwegian news weekly) www.nytid.no
