Afghan school director writes to Italy, says Taliban not letting him & his family leave

It has recently come to light that Taliban has started stopping Afghan civilians from leaving the country. A similar thing happened with the director of a school in the country called Shir Ahmad Mohammadi. The director of a girls' school in Herat Province, Mohammadi runs a school dedicated to an Italian newspaper correspondent who was killed in Afghanistan by the Taliban. The school director is desperately trying to reach Hamid Karzai airport for evacuation, but his attempts are going in vain.

As per media reports, Mohammadi has also sent letters to his contacts who are in Italy and has also written to an official in Kabul, complaining that the terrorist group is not allowing him and his family to go near the Kabul airport. Mohammadi traveled from Herat to Kabul and found that the capital was under the control of the Taliban. With the end date of US' evacuation from the country nearing, Afghanistan is slowly transforming into a more chaotic ground.
