Iran Press/ Asia: People who tried and failed to board a plane have called on fellow Afghans to not pay heed to the rumors and to stay at home and not risk their lives.
“For the past week certain people have been informed by phone and through messages to come to the gates of the airport with their families for evacuation, but here we see lots of other people without documents, they are creating an obstacle for others,” said Mubarez, a resident of Panjshir.
“People come here with their ID cards and think that they will be transferred, please avoid the mess here,” said Elham, a resident of Kabul.
People among them women and children are at the airport. Some have come even from remote provinces.
“It is now the fourth day that people with legal documents are not able to leave,” said a resident in Kabul named Mumtaz.
“I don’t see any future for myself now that the Taliban have come, so I decided to leave Afghanistan,” said Ali, a resident in Kabul.
In other development, some online bottom feeders are being blasted for hawking a T-shirt that mocks Afghans who died after falling from a plane in an attempt to flee the Taliban this week.
The offensive tee, which is emblazoned with “Kabul Skydiving Club Est. 2021,” surfaced on several off-brand online clothing stores, including Tee4Sport and TShirtAtLowPrice.com. The appalling top also depicts silhouettes of two people plummeting from a military aircraft.
It was an insensitive shot at multiple individuals — including a 17-year-old boy — who died after falling from a US Air Force jet in Kabul while desperately attempting to flee Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover.
