This is out of the blue! I am Afghan and I am currently living in Afghanistan. Today (15 Aug 2021) the Taliban entered the capital city of Afghanistan which is Kabul. The government is going to change to an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. They ruled in Afghanistan for 5 years, 20 years ago. I've heard stories about them since I'm 19 and luckily was not yet born. And let me tell you the stories were terrifying, but they were just horror stories to me and I never thought that I'd be living under their regime, but here we are.

Let me tell you something shocking: girls can only study up to 6th grade. The future of female students in universities hasn't been decided yet. According to what I've heard they go from house to house and ask for girls and women (12 to 45 year olds) for marriage.

As they are just pieces of crap, I don't really believe that they'd let us have mobiles or use the internet. I really hope this isn't my last post in here! But if it is I want to let the world know of what they've done and what they're doing.

Don't forget us!

Hello everyone!

First of all, I should thank every single one of you for caring and praying. Every time that I've felt weak during the past 2 days I came here, read your messages and replies, and it certainly helped. My family and I are fine.

Before taking over Kabul, they did brutal acts against people (men and women). They killed around 30 policemen in Zaranj city and plucked their eyes out. They took a 60 years old comedian out of his home slapped him in front of everyone, shot him and sent his dead body to his family (the video can be found online, I didn't watch it because I couldn't). These are horrible, and only two of the hundreds of other cases that broke my heart. I didn't mention it before because I was under the belief that our government would take revenge and would win the fight, but our President (according to the Russian embassy in Kabul with millions of dollars) and most high-profile members of the government fled from the country before the Taliban even came to Kabul. Can't believe that I loved and respected him.

The American University of Afghanistan has been completely robbed. A few of them went to guard Kabul University so nobody steals anything, and one of those Taliban was a former student of KU 😶.

I don't know if any of you watched what happened 2 days ago in Kabul's airport. Lots of people rushed to the airport to catch a flight, it was very crowded in there, the US forces fired bullets to disperse the crowd, and 3 or 5 people got killed. Some fell off the plane and died. Gunshots can still be heard from the airport, according to a friend of mine who lives close to the airport and had to leave her apartment to go somewhere safer.

I think I should mention that men are in danger as well. I have a brother, father and a friend very very close to me, and they're under the pressure of saving their lives and their family's lives, that's the way it is here, men are more responsible for their families. My friend has a passport and might be able to get a visa but he can't leave his family, because the application website for passports is down and the rest of his family don't have passports, therefore cannot apply for Visa. And I'm sure lots of other men and boys are having the same situation. In their first rulership, the Taliban had imprisoned my father because his beard wasn't long enough 😶. So it's not just oppression against women but all Afghans.

Most people wanted to start applying for Visa before the government collapsed. We thought we had time. We were wrong. We didn't. I went to apply for Turkey's visa and the person who was working there said that only 2 out of 100 applicants would receive visas. So lots of people who are at risk are stuck here.

I don't want to ask a lot from you but if there's a way for some people who are in danger to leave here and come to your country without a passport (i know I'm asking for too much) please let me know.

In the end, please do not think the Taliban are the true picture of Islam. Because they aren't. It's all just political. Islam is a beautiful, peaceful and kind religion.

Thank you all so much. I don't know any of you, but you're the kindest people I've ever seen. 🖤
