No one of us could imagine that in 2021 a terrorist group could take over an entirely Country. Still, on the 16th of August, the Taliban, a militant group that ran the country in the late 1990s but finally expelled by the U.S. in 2001, took control of Afghanistan and swept into Kabul after the government collapsed and the embattled president joined an exodus of his fellow citizens and foreigners.
Afghans and all the citizens who lived there were desperate to flee from an uncertain future, fearing their lives and rights.
They fear revenge attacks by the Taliban against those who worked with the U.S. or the government or from the reimpose of the harsh rules and law that they relied on when they ran Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.
