Many Afghans pack their bags, hoping for the chance to leave

Some say their lives are in danger because of links with the ousted government or with Western organizations. Others say their way of life cannot endure under the hard-line Taliban, notorious for their restrictions on women, on civil liberties and their harsh interpretation of Islamic law. Some are not as concerned with the Taliban themselves but fear that under them, an already collapsing economy will utterly crash.

“I was raised with one dream, that I study hard and be someone, and I’d come back to this country and help,” said Popal, a 27-year-old engineer.When Popal was 5 years old, his father sent him to Britain with relatives to get an education. Growing up, Popal worked low-skill jobs, sending money back to his family, while studying engineering. He eventually gained British citizenship and worked in the nuclear sector.

The British Foreign Office said in a statement that it is working to ensure British nationals in Afghanistan are able to leave.

It’s tough. But when there is no meaningful opposition despite US help, the result is predictable. They had a chance and squandered it.

What the hell was America doing in Afghanistan for 20 years? Where’s the nation building and improving Afghans lives?

Why? Muslims even not safe in sharia law but they want it in democratic countries

Yeah...think that's the right choice.

Kabul alone is not Afghanistan.

good luck

Don’t they know they could just build back better? 🙄 LetsGoBrandon

Someone should have protected them from being ruled by an insane death cult

Yeah, most people despise the rulers who take advantage of them.
