When the Taliban came into Kabul this time, all the businesses shut down and people became desperately worried about their future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My sister is a widow and was running a sewing business in her own house, working together with other widows so that they could support their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was hard but they were able to manage. But as soon as the Taliban came into Kabul she lost all her clients because everyone is afraid of them and don’t want to leave their houses. My sister says Kabul is a dead city. They remember the Taliban used to whip women last time they were in power. No one can trust the Taliban to behave differently this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the NATO soldiers were in Afghanistan the Taliban were sending suicide bombers to target schools, universities, hotels and other crowded places, especially at Eid. After the NATO soldiers left, the Taliban started attacking the provinces. The people from the provinces had to leave their homes because they were scared that their husbands and sons would be killed and their daughters forced into marriage with the Taliban fighters. This was happening. The people all came into Kabul for safety. The government didn’t support them, just left them in the parks without food or shelter. Only the local people helped them. They tell stories of what has been happening in the provinces. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
