Commander Ahmad Massoud

And that's exactly what happened.

I knew that it is happening on September, 1st of September.

I was aware when it was announced, but before that I didn't know about the exact date.

But I knew in my heart that 2021 was a devastating year for people of Afghanistan.

Not just France, many countries they offered.

Well, I remembered.

the faces that I looked at those eyes and faces and told them about freedom, about my father, about democracy, about human rights, about women's rights, about fighting terrorism.

How could I just leave them after all those things I was preaching to them?

And what would I do outside?

I gave it a very hard thought.

nights before the collapse, and I knew it would happen.

And just like my father, I was prepared to give the ultimate sacrifice.

To be very frank, because I knew how everything is completely gone and how Taliban will be left with billions of dollars of equipment.

And at the end, it will be a valley against basically a country.

And all odds would be pointing out to our demise and our death.

I just didn't want to be alive to see my country go this path.

But unfortunately, that didn't happen.

And I was alive.

I get to see what happened, which is heartbreaking and a much bigger pain to me than death occurred to me, which is witnessing my country going to this situation.

But in my opinion, because I believe I am a man of God and I believe in God, I believe that he kept us alive for a reason.
