Aschraf Ghani’s daughter lives a very different life than her Afghan compatriots – the 42-year-old is an artist in New York and lives as a hipster.
the essentials in brief
- Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had to flee the Taliban on Sunday.
- Meanwhile, his daughter lives in the USA as an artist and activist.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled Afghanistan on Sunday when the Taliban stood at the gates of Kabul. There was only enough time to pack $ 169 million and four cars. The 72-year-old received asylum in the United Arab Emirates.
His daughter Mariam Ghani did not have to flee. The 42-year-old works as an artist and activist in the USA. According to the US media, she lives a hipster life in New York.
Ghani lives in a luxurious apartment in Brooklyn’s Clinton Hills, surrounded by hip bars and art studios.
Art and films
“I’m a Brooklyn cliché,” Ghani said in a 2015 interview. In addition to art, she is also interested in films. She recently published a documentary.
Ghani has quite a reputation: Her works have already been exhibited in the Tate Modern or the well-known Guggenheim Museum.
However, Ashraf Ghani’s daughter was born in the USA and therefore has a US passport. It was not until she was 24 that she was able to travel to Afghanistan for the first time. However, she never lived in the Asian country.
Father Ashraf Ghani wants to come back
Her father Ashraf Ghani was Afghanistan’s president until recently. However, his escape and the millions in his luggage are not well received by many Afghans. Ghani rejects the allegations and has announced that he will return to Afghanistan.
His daughter Mariam did not want to talk to journalists about the Taliban’s takeover. On social media, however, she called for support to the people in Afghanistan.
