  42. When the government of our country fell and then the Taliban came by force and left our country, the United States and NATO and Australia, then I worked with the government of Afghanistan in our country, the United States and NATO and the government of Australia and then the Taliban told us why you are with them. The Taliban are now threatening us with death. My life is in danger. You must help me with humanitarian help to save my life and with your real help I can go to a safer country. There is no economy and no money. Why do people sell their children and kill my relatives and my friends? You have to take our country seriously
