Commander Ahmad Massoud

Well, as you mentioned, first and foremost, it is...

Once again, it proves that the defeat in Afghanistan was political.

It was by the politicians.

It was not by those who fought in Afghanistan.

This is crystal clear now.

Well, because of the atrocity that Taliban are committing, how they are very much focused in targeting those who fought against them.

it's very difficult for me to say, no, don't evacuate them.

Morally it is wrong because I know in what grave danger they are at.

Of course, absolutely, I would rather them to have them in Afghanistan because sooner or later the support will come.

Because till the Taliban did not change and the terrorist attack only increased, Pakistan, Iran, Russia, United States, you see how it is increasing, Germany.

So this report will come, but I hope it's not too little too late, first and foremost.

Second, I cannot put myself in a position to decide for those veterans because they are in such a terrifying situation.

Constantly Taliban are looking for them.

And unfortunately, one thing happened, that United States and Afghanistan government, they took their fingerprints and they saved it all and servers and everything, and they lifted all to the Taliban.

So now the Taliban, they have all this sort of,

They know the scanners and everything.

Biometrics.

Biometrics, exactly.

They have biometrics.

And as soon as they put their fingers anywhere, if they enter from any point from Afghanistan, from the borders, if they go anywhere inside Afghanistan, as soon as they do the biometric, they will know who was who.
