Chapter one
‘Everyone was running to go’
By the time we arrived at the big blue gate of Kabul airport, there must have been tens of thousands of people there. They were rushing from this gate to that for safety, shouting and yelling for help. Taliban were yelling at people and pointing their guns at them. You could hear gunshots everywhere. I saw a man bleeding from the side of his face yelling for help but nobody cared. Thousands of the old, young, male, female, kids hurrying up and down and not knowing where to go and what to do. We all just wanted to get out. Such a panic was created by the Taliban.
