[EpochTimesAugust192021](Epoch Times reporter Xu Jian comprehensive report) “The mothers beaten by the Taliban are desperate.’Save my children’, they shouted and threw the children (through the wire fence) Throwing at us, some children were trapped in barbed wire. These things are so terrible. At the end of the day, none of us (soldiers) will not cry.” An officer of the British parachute regiment said calmly.
This was a cruel scene that took place on Wednesday (August 18) on the way to Kabul Airport, where American, British and other foreign government forces are airlifting thousands of people at risk to safety.
The atmosphere was very tense. Those who were eligible to board flights were full of hope, and those who did not qualify for asylum fell into despair. The Taliban militants faced off against British troops just a few yards away through barbed wire and military vehicle roadblocks.
In addition, there are special forces from the United States, France, Spain, Turkey, and Poland, who are constantly collecting people who will fly to their countries, realizing that they may be involved in operations at any time.
A group of Taliban wielded AK-47 rifles and checked the documents of people on the road. Apart from glaring and shouting, there was no further hostilities against the Western troops.
There are also heartbreaking videos circulating on social media platforms: such as a desperate Afghan trying to throw a baby over a barbed wire fence, and a painful boy sobbing in front of another blood-stained child.
In an interview with British Sky News, a senior British official described the heartbreaking scene at Kabul Airport (See the video here), “This is terrible. The women threw their children over the barbed wire fence and asked the soldiers to take them away. Some of them were caught by the barbed wire fence.” He said that the soldiers at the scene bear a great psychological burden, “I give some people Do psychological counseling.”
British Sky News reported that the British Secretary of Defense, Ben Wallace, said that Britain cannot take children out of Afghanistan without an adult.
