Afghanistan: Worry dominates for those who remained
Three weeks after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, it’s hard to know how many French people are still in the country, hiding on Sunday, September 5th.
There is anger against the Taliban in Paris on Sunday 5 September. Within France’s Afghan community, which demonstrated in the capital, concern dominates for those who remain and whose lives are threatened. A manager of an NGO managed to get around fifty women out. Today, he is fighting for humanitarian corridors. “We try for neighboring countries, negotiate, to see how we can find a way to send them to Tajikistan or Iran“, explains Reza Jafari, of the association” Enfants d’Afghanistan “.
How many want to leave the country? There are binationals, minors, but also Afghan civilians who served in the French army, numbering around 250, and are particularly targeted according to a group of lawyers. “The door to door continues and the people who worked for the French army are known to the Taliban (…)“, explains Maître Magali Loustan, a lawyer, who recalls that confidential databases fell into Taliban hands.
