Kabul's young women plead for help as Taliban advance
Every night terrified young men and women across the city send me desperate messages begging for help. "Pray for us," says one. "The situation is critical, we are very worried," says another.
I've been reporting from Afghanistan for more than a decade. Over the years, I've spent time with journalists, female judges, female members of parliament, human rights activists and university students. Many have become good friends. Now they tell me they feel completely abandoned by the democratic world they thought they were part of.
This is not the Afghanistan and the Kabul that these young women know or want. But as the Taliban prepare to march towards the capital, there doesn't seem to be anywhere to run or hide.
