Masomah Ali Zada is"proud" to represent"all those who have been forced to flee their country" in her role as chef de mission of the Refugee team at the Paris Olympics , she told AFP.
"It fills me with great ride and is an immense honour to represent, along with this unique and special team, those people who have been obliged to flee their country," Masomah told AFP, speaking in French in a round of interviews at the Paris Games organisers' headquarters to commemorate United Nations Refugees Day.
"I know what it is to be a refugee," said Masomah, her eyes highlighted by eyeliner and her head covered by a black veil. Women have been de facto barred from sports as part of rules based on the Taliban government’s strict interpretation of Islam that have restricted their access to public spaces such as parks and gyms, as well as education and certain jobs.Nevertheless Afghanistan will have a six-member team in Paris, three men and three women, after intense talks between the International Olympic Committee and the Afghan National Olympic Committee.
