I decided to share anonymous snippets of the conversations I'm having with friends in Kabul. I still don't feel like people get how horrifying the situation is, and why our governments have to act NOW - and not in ten days.
"I don't worry about me anymore. I'm already completely crazy anyway. I won't be fine again, ever. I just want my kids to have a life."
"My daughter asked me: 'if Taliban come to our house, will they kill all of us?' I didnt know what to tell her. I just had no answer."
"I didn’t hear from anyone... I don’t wanna be killed in this cursed country, I don’t wanna live here anymore. I hate this country. I hate all these killings."
"I don't know how to forget about this cute angel" (about his baby daughter who was killed in fighting)
"She was so scared that she couldn't react at all. She was just walking like a robot, not crying, not screaming, not even talking"
"I don't sleep anymore, I don't go out anymore. They now started to kidnap people and force them to fight. Every day the situation is getting worse."
