Kabul: Taliban fighter Clarissa Ward indicted on CNN
Thousands of Afghans are trying to escape from Kabul International Airport, which is currently controlled by forces from the United States and the United Kingdom. Sky News reported that several of them were killed this morning in a stampede, while many others need medical attention.
The Australian group Forsaken Fighters, which supports Afghan interpreters, has warned that “tens of thousands” are at risk.
Speaking to The Sun Online, a spokesperson said: “Interpreters on the ground in Kandahar reported that the Taliban were actively looking for interpreters supporting coalition forces, even using local children to help frown at people and go door to door to find them.
People are dragged from their homes and executed. It’s a really horrific situation.
“The utter desperation of those people who helped us is overwhelming.”

The spokesperson noted that “very public” reprisals have taken place, adding, “We are dying over and over again.”
Kabul fell to the Taliban on August 15, after a nationwide lighting campaign.
The Taliban have offered amnesty to those who worked for the Afghan government, or Western forces, but there are accusations that its fighters are widely ignoring this.
Kristian Nellemann, executive director of the Norwegian Center for Global Analytics, said the Taliban are in some cases targeting families of interpreters if they refuse to surrender.

He said: “They target the families of the rejectionists, and they pursue and punish their families according to Islamic law.”
“We anticipate that both individuals who previously served with NATO/US forces and their allies, along with their family members, will be subjected to torture and execution.
“This will jeopardize Western intelligence services, networks, methods, and their ability to confront both the Taliban, ISIS, and other terrorist threats in the future.”
Joe Biden canceled his plans to travel to Wilmington, Delaware, on Saturday and will instead stay in Washington.

The president ordered the withdrawal of all US forces by the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
In response, other NATO members withdrew their forces, and the Afghan army collapsed while fighting the Taliban alone.
Mary Ellen McGarraty of the World Food Program has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan.
“Even at the beginning of the year we already had 14 million people experiencing a hunger crisis and we expect the situation to escalate as we enter what we call the hunger season,” she said.

“Given the extremely high needs across the country, we have enough food to get us through September.
“We desperately need the funding, $200m (£147m), and we need it now because we need to get food into the country before winter starts, before the areas snow.”
The Taliban was overthrown by a US-led invasion in 2001, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.

Al-Qaeda terrorists, who carried out the attacks, used Afghanistan as a base for their training and planning of their operations.
A solidarity march with Afghans against the Taliban was organized in central London on Saturday.
Hundreds of people waved Afghan flags and placards reading “Stop the Taliban” and “Stop killing Afghans”.
