Ahmed Rashid is a Pakistani journalist based and was the Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia correspondent for the “Far Eastern Economic Review” for 22 years until the magazine closed down. He presently writes for the “Daily Telegraph,” “The International Herald Tribune,” “The New York Review of Books,” “BBC Online,” and “The Nation.”

He has written many books, including “Taliban: Islam, Oil and the new Great Game in Central Asia” (2000), “Jihad, The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia” (2002) and “Islam and Central Asia: An enduring legacy or an evolving threat?” In 2001 he was awarded the Nisar Osmani Award for Courage in Journalism by the Human Rights Society of Pakistan. In April 2002 he was given The Media Personality of the Year award by Britain’s Ethnic Multicultural Media Awards and in May he came joint second for The Daniel Pearl Award for Outstanding story on South Asia, given by the South Asian Journalists Association of the US.

In January 2002 he established the Open Media Fund for Afghanistan, which gives cash grants to newly starting independent print media in Afghanistan. So far it has distributed over $300,000 to over two dozen newspaper and magazine start ups all over Afghanistan.
