In fact, it is very regrettable, especially in the context of Afghanistan. In the context of Iran, a large number have left, but they have kept in touch. There are also quite a few people inside the country, and that has helped. Many Iranians hope that if the regime changes, they could go back and be at the service of the country, even if they don't necessarily want to completely move back to Iran.
In the case of Afghanistan, the situation is a little bit more dire. The fact is that the whole takeover by the Taliban was a surprise. Many of the elite have left, and those who are left in the country have not yet.... They are still in shock. One of the major issues is to bring all the people, all the experts, the politicians who are outside, and bring them together to form an alliance, have a summit, have a program and really work like a nation outside the boundaries of the country.
My worry has been that there are not enough steps taken to bring people together, have those summits, make larger and smaller groups that are connected and work.... It's the same with education. We really need to establish an education system for the country outside the border of that country if we want to save Afghanistan from the ideology of the Taliban, which will spill over to neighbouring and other countries.
