Highlighted Comments
HOW is it even possible to have a country led by such kind of people in the 21st century?
I truly believed our struggle was finally about to end, but instead everything has collapsed. I feel helpless.
When you can’t hear from your loved ones it’s so hard, I have been calling to my mother my father but it doesn’t connect.
The things that the Taliban are doing are really incomprehensible to the people of the 21st century.
There’s no hope for the country or its citizens. Fucking terrorists.
