Dear Editor, I am directed by Wikipedia to talk page to edit my biography on Wikipedia. The reason I want to edit my biography is due to outdated information.

I want this line to be removed as it is an outdated information.... "Nilofar Sakhi is an Afghan peace, human rights, and development practitioner."

Below is my updated information. Could you please use below information for my bio? It would be great if you use this information before early life and education starts.

"Nilofar Sakhi (Persian: نيلوفر سخی‎) is a scholar-practitioner who has written extensively on various aspects of human security and transnational security and has managed and implemented a wide range of development, governance and peacebuilding programs.
