Kabul: A few hours after the Taliban stormed his hometown in North Afghanistan last week, Abdullah was 17-year-old was forced to carry a rocket-driven grenade on the nearest hill – the recruitment of rebels who did not want and fear.
Abdullah said he was on the streets of Kunduz when the Taliban members stopped him.
The rebels also grabbed 30 to 40 more young men, some of them boys as young as 14, from outside Madrassa (Islamic school), he said.
“They asked us to take weapons and join their ranks,” Abdullah said.
“And when our parents came to ask for our release, they threatened them with weapons.” The Taliban controlled an effective country on Sunday after a lightning attack – supported in part by the youth of the press like Abdullah to be used as cannon feed.
Abdullah said the rebels binded the bag of 20 kilograms (44 pounds) to his back, pushing a box of ammunition to each of his hands and forced him to line up.
Trials lasted three hours before his family could barter his release.
But when they prepared to escape, the rebels returned for him and the others.
“They beat us.
I still have a sign,” he said.
One hour later, he said he was given an assault rifle and was pushed into action – ordered to help attack the police garrison.
“I tremble, I can’t hold my weapon,” Abdullah said, his face turned red with teen pimples.
Afghan government forces fight angry.
“Three or four boys carrying weapons were beaten and died when their bags exploded,” Abdullah said.
“One Taliban fighters are killed, one more legs and arms.” Abdullah saw his chance to escape when half of the Taliban fighters in his group had been killed or injured.
He put his gun and ran, took an hour to go home.
“I was shocked,” he said.
His family is in their own ladder upheaval, preparing to seek salvation in the capital Kabul.
They have borrowed money and pawned their belongings.
“We didn’t take anything with us.
We even sold our food,” Abdullah said.
After 15 hours of travel, Abdullah, his parents, grandfather, and his brothers reached Kabul.
Since then, they have slept under a tent in the park on the northern suburbs where they talk to AFP.
Only their treasure is what they can carry.
Abdullah said his stomach still hurt where the Taliban fighters hit him with their weapons butt when he opposed the dispute.
He now dreams out of Afghanistan.
But when he was held hostage by the Taliban, Abdullah said he was mostly fear for his family.
“I’m thinking about my parents,” he said.
“I thought:” If I hit and kill …
what will happen to them? ‘”.
