An American woman stranded in Kabul recently claimed that she was whipped by the Taliban and had to witness another man being shot to death while trying to make their way to the airport to flee the war-torn country. Fox News reported that the woman, whose identity has been withheld for security concerns, said there are 20 checkpoints manned by armed Taliban fighters between her location and the Kabul international airport. She is currently in hiding with family members and Afghan allies.
The American woman revealed that she was whipped by an insurgent on her way to the airport, while a man next to her was shot in the head, leaving his wife and child in tears. As she cannot make her way to the airport, she appealed to US President Joe Biden to get her out of Afghanistan, which the Taliban took over on Sunday. “Every moment that a car passes by, I feel like they are going to pull in and execute us. I don’t know if I’m going to see my children again,” she said.
According to the audio recording sent to West Virginia Representative Carol Miller’s office, the woman said that the situation in Afghanistan was “dire, even hopeless”. She alleged that the Taliban militants have been going door-to-door, rounding up people who worked with the US military or NATO. The woman said that she would instead take her own life than be captured by the insurgent group.
Wow. Awful.
