On August 16, Afghan residents gathered around Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul following the Taliban's takeover of the capital. The atmosphere was tense as citizens anxiously attempted to enter the airport with hopes of fleeing the city.
In the midst of the chaos, a local man followed his younger brother to the airport, urging him to return home. However, he was unable to locate his brother among the throngs of panicked individuals. \"Those who came from foreign countries, they destroyed our country, and left us alone. They have left with all our property,\" he lamented.
