And that's why ever since my purpose is to retake my country
and bring back the integrity that has been taken from my country.
Well, four things happened, Sean.
First,
a nation got a devastating blow.
14th of August, a girl of Kabul in Afghanistan had a world of dreams and hopes for her future.
She went to school and she came back and she was thinking, okay, tomorrow, day after tomorrow, five years, 10 years, I'll become doctor, I'll become engineer, I'll become politicians, I'll become head of state, I'll be this and that.
First thing happened that the dream of my people got shattered.
First.
Second thing that happened, it was the trust.
People of Afghanistan felt
filled with their heart and with their skin, how they can be abandoned overnight and be forgotten and be handed over to the same enemy that we have been fighting for 20 years together.
The third thing that the world didn't witness was the catastrophic and terrifying terrors
the Taliban did to the people.
Girls went on the street, they brutally destroyed it, they threw them in jail, they raped them, they defamed them, and they destroyed something that even the communists, even the Russians didn't do such atrocity.
But on other hand, another thing happened.
Some people didn't give up.
Some people didn't care if they were alone.
They fought.
Even if they were little, if they had nothing, they fought with their hearts, with their soul.
