Used like condoms and discarded. The fate of those who collaborate with australia.
Probably doesn’t want the witnesses of war crimes to make it out of kabul in case they start talking.
Just what did you expect from a medium power nation that when recently been exposed about the crime their soldiers committed in Afghanistan. And the government's outrage wasn't directed at their soldiers, instead they are upset at China's artist depiction of that criminal act. So much for freedom of ecpression.
Australians in Afghanistan say the Taliban will kill them, urge government to help
Afghan Australians stuck in Kabul are pleading with the federal government to get them on evacuation flights to safety, saying they fear being killed by the Taliban if they are left behind.
Taliban insurgents have seized the presidential palace in Kabul after taking control of nearly all of Afghanistan in just over a week.
Muftahudin Babackerkhil, who is in Kabul, said he had made several frantic calls to the Australian government but had received no response.
"I sent all my details to them, my family details and I said I need urgent assistance. I need help," he told the ABC from Hamid Karzai International Airport.
"I tried to call [the government] and they said they don't know when the Australian aircraft will be landing. There is nothing happening right now."
Cabinet's National Security Committee has approved a military evacuation plan to rescue Australians in Afghanistan, as well as Afghans who once served with the ADF.
The ABC has been told the mission involves an RAAF C-17 aircraft and other Defence assets from across Australia.
But it is not clear when the planes will be allowed or able to land in Kabul, given the deteriorating situation on the ground.
The ABC understands the government intends to bring home Australians, journalists and some former Kabul embassy staff.
Mr Babackerkhil said he feared the Taliban would kill him and his family purely because he was an Australian citizen.
"If they know I am an Australian citizen then that's it. If they know you are an Australian – that is enough," he said.
He is also desperate to get his wife, child and extended family to Australia. None are Australian citizens but Mr Babackerkhil said he would not abandon them in Kabul.
"When I die, I will die with my family. Who would leave their family?" he said.
"We need the Australian government to assist. We need help."
Another Afghan Australian – who did not want to be identified because he feared reprisals – said he was desperate to leave Kabul with his wife and young child.
"I hope the [Australian] government help us. If the Taliban find out we are Australian citizen(s) they will not give us a second chance," he said.
He also said he had repeatedly tried to contact the Australian government to request help but had not received a response.
Fears Taliban will cut off access 'to the rest of the world'
A third Afghan Australian who also requested anonymity said he escaped Kabul only a few days ago after buying a "very expensive ticket" on a commercial flight.
He said his uncle, who is also an Australian citizen, had been trying to get out of the country but his flight due on Tuesday had been cancelled.
"He is stuck. He can't go anywhere. There is a fear they will cut off phones, internet and eventually access to the rest of the world," the man said.
"And if the Taliban is anything like they were 20 years ago then that is what they will do.
"They won't want anyone to see what they will do to the country."
He said he was also desperately worried about extended family members who were Afghan nationals and remained stuck in the country with no prospects of escape.
hahaha just learn that you're a woman, which is rare in the most discussion forums like this.
