MILAN: Afghan school director for girls dedicated to the Italian newspaper correspondent who was killed in Afghanistan tried desperately to get access to Kabul airport for evacuation, with anxiety that grew up as the end of the flight.
Shirh Ahmad Mohammadi has sent a message to contacts in Italy and Italian officials in Kabul, said that the Taliban did not allow him and his family near the airport, Corriere della Sera reported on Thursday.
“Help me, I can’t continue.
Taliban don’t allow us to graduate.
They ask for a US document that we don’t have,” Mohammadi wrote.
He was a school director in the Herat Province who was named for Maria Grazia Cutuli, Corriere correspondent who was killed in 2001.
He traveled by bus with his wife and two daughters, founding himself in the capital controlled by the Taliban and with foreign troops now closed at the airport.
“I am serving female students in Afghanistan, giving them the opportunity to learn on behalf of your country.
Now it’s time for me to think of my daughter, and try to make them safe,” he wrote.
“I have two daughters with me, what should I do , I can’t let them be treated this way.
I have to take care of their security and dignity.
That’s why I made this trip.
“He said his wife and daughter were under pressure.” I don’t know how long we can continue under this condition, “Mohammadi wrote.
