We ended up coming up with a desperate last minute plan for my wife and children to flee to a neighboring country, while I would go to the UK and fight to bring them with me.
Over 80,000 people have been evacuated since August 14, but huge crowds remain outside Kabul airport hoping to flee the threat of reprisals and repression in Taliban-led Afghanistan.
I have contacted them several times – even after the recent news that my family faces the risk of deportation from Pakistan to Afghanistan, where they would be in grave danger – but they always say the same thing: I have to wait.
To make matters worse, my family is now facing the risk of deportation back to Afghanistan after the Pakistan Government set a March 31 deadline for Afghans to leave.
