Meeting Omar Olumee

Omar Olumee sits on the board for the Campaign for a US-Afghanistan Partnership (CUSAP) along with Hamed Wardak and Assad A. Mattin. This board, and the organization in general, aims to help Afghanistan to become a strong, prosperous nation with the continued support of the United States.

As a founding member of CUSAP and an Afghan-American, Omar Olumee is also a Senior Consultant on the Business Systems Integration team in Deloitte & Touche’s Public Services Business Unit.

He has a B.A. from George Mason University in International Studies and a Masters in Information Technology from Virginia Tech.

Hamed Wardak Promotes Peace in Afghanistan

In addition to promoting support for Afghanistan by the United States, CUSAP also believes the role of Pakistan is a crucial piece in the puzzle of achieving peace and security in Afghanistan. Hamed Wardak of CUSAP believe that Pakistan can and should play a more positive role in determining the future condition of Afghanistan.

CUSAP wants all three countries, Pakistan, the United States and Afghanistan to support, promote and encourage Afghan independence, security and prosperity, without repeating the mistakes of the recent past which helped bring Afghanistan to its current state of chaos and woe.

Now is the unique time, according to Hamed Wardak of the CUSAP, to take advantage of this opportunity to support new leadership which will work toward the path of sustainable security, peace and prosperity in Afghanistan, after many years without.

Support for Afghanistan Helps U.S., Too

Hamed Wardak is on the board of CUSAP, the Campaign for a U.S.-Afghanistan Partnership, an organization helping to promote and encourage continued U.S. support for Afghanistan as it brings itself up and out of the oppression of exerted on them by the Soviet Union and after them, the Taliban.

CUSAP believes that the same forces that motivated the United States to support Afghanistan after 2001 are still extant. The U.S. felt it necessary to stem the tide of international jihad and to deny safe haven to al Qaeda and the Taliban. In this way the ability of jihadists to launch terrorist attacks on the United Sates and its allies is severely restricted.

In order to achieve long term security and development of Afghanistan, Hamed Wardak and the CUSAP believe it is absolutely necessary for the United States to continue its support of Afghanistan and its people.

Hamed Wardak of CUSAP Promotes Good Relations

The Campaign for a U.S. Afghanistan Partnership, CUSAP, is dedicated to promoting U.S. support of the development of a strong and prospering Afghanistan. U.S.-Afghanistan citizens constitute membership of CUSAP, and the board members include, Milt Bearden, Assad A. Mattin, Omar Olumee, and Hamed Wardak.

Part of CUSAP’s mandate is to educate the public so that they realize that Afghanistan is not a repeat of Vietnam, and is not a hopeless case. Until the brutal takeover of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union Afghanistan was a stable country. With the help and support of the United States, Afghanistan was able to liberate itself from the yoke of Soviet oppression, but not before over one million Afghanis had been killed.

From the time the Soviets left the Taliban and al Qaeda led the Afghan people into many more years of disastrous tyranny; until, in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 catastrophe, the United States once again intervened and helped liberate Afghanistan from the clasp of oppression.
