media mogul Afghanistan

Saad Mohseni, often referred to as Afghanistan's first media mogul, is the chief executive of Moby Group, the country's largest media conglomerate. Born to Afghan emigrants, he returned to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban in 2001 and has since built a significant media presence, including television and radio networks. Since the Taliban's return to power in 2021, Mohseni has navigated a challenging media landscape, advocating for women's representation in media and negotiating content restrictions with the regime. Despite the oppressive environment, he has managed to keep Moby Group operational, producing news and entertainment while pushing for educational programming for girls, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.
