Instead of sending warlord kids like Noor jr. and Dostum jr. to Doha, it would have been much better to see some members of Afghan civil society and folks who live between the front lines.

My suggestions based on mine and other's reporting:
A medic from Baghlan who treats both Afghan soldiers and Taliban fighters and regularly receives threats. His office has been attacked last September. He rebuilt it thanks to local support.
A teacher from a village in Khost who turnt his living room into a girls school, which is visited by daughters and sisters of Taliban fighters. He received threats from other Taliban who didn't tolerate his work.
