Hashim Mayar Gigi F. A child in one of the Refugees that ACBAR aids in || Hashim Mayar is the current Deputy Director at Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief. The Agency Co-ordinating Body for Afghan Relief (ACBAR) was created in 1988, in response to the demand from the many aid agencies and their international donors for a coordinated approach to humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan and for Afghan refugees in Pakistan. ACBAR exists to serve and facilitate the work of its NGO members in order to address efficiently and effectively the humanitarian and development needs of Afghans. ACBAR exists primarily to serve the needs of its members and to act in their interest. To this end, ACBAR pursues three aims, to provide high quality information to ACBAR members and external stakeholders, to advocate for and represent the interests of the NGO sector in Afghanistan on behalf of its members, and to promote high ethical and professional standards among the NGO community. Hashim Mayar has a credible opinion on the war because he is in charge of a group that aids many refugees in Afghanistan and Pakistan which are directly related to the war in Afghanistan.

Mayar is intersted in Afghanistan because he is determined to help the refugees in Afghan and Pakistan by aiding them with supplies so his reason for being involved falls under humanitarian. As the director of ACBAR he ordered an investigation commission, including officers from the National Security and Interior Ministries, to investigate the activities of the suspended NGOs."We are waiting for the results, impatiently, because if we do not know the final result, you know, the situation will get worse, and the security of the expatriate and national workers of the NGOs will be endangered, and also ... it will affect the activities of the NGOs," said Mayar after an attack on one of the religious groups in Afghanistan. “There is a fear that all this could be cut and Afghanistan could be left alone as it was in the ’90s, which will have very bad consequences this time,” said Hashim Mayar which represents many of the major relief groups in Afghanistan. “What we have gained should not be lost.” Mayar's response was to the sudden withdraw of american troops in Decmeber and the financial cuts America is making to aid the agencies in Afghanistan.The life of Hashim Mayar wouldn't change dramatically if the United States left Afghanistan because the group in which he is in charge of already exists to aid several agencies in Afghanistan without the help of the U.S. but it would become a little more stressful since the Unites States is partially funding agencies involved in aiding Afghanistan. People would start to rely on Mayar a lot more than they do now if the U.S. left Afghanistan.

If Hashim Mayar were to answer the question of when the United States should leave Afghanistan he would suggest that the United States leaves once Afghanistan is financially and governmentally stable. Since he is in charge of aiding Afghanistan refugees, he would also suggest that we stay until we know the people are safe from the Taliban since that is a main concern considering this is a major reason why his agency is aiding refugees. He wants to make sure the country is primarily stable and that the people are safe and healthy before the U.S. withdraws from the war.
