Please help us and let the world pay attention to what is happening to us.” She asked all parts of the world to provide support because her country is sinking into During the Taliban riots.
Karimi wrote in his letter, “In the past few weeks, the Taliban have gained control of many provinces. However, they massacred our people and kidnapped many children. They even killed a woman for wearing clothes. ; They also killed our favorite comedian; they also killed an epicologist.”
Karimi criticized that the Taliban’s atrocities had caused the displacement of thousands of families, and that in refugee camps in Kabul, there were frequent robberies and even cases of infants starving to death without milk. She even emphasized that this is already a humanitarian crisis, but the international community has not expressed its stance on this.
Karimi made an appeal in the letter that the world should not ignore us. The people of Afghanistan need support, and more importantly, you need to be able to represent Afghan women, children, artists, and filmmakers. This kind of support is the help we need most at the moment.
Karimi said that the Taliban banned all art, and she and many film creators may be one of the Taliban’s “removal lists”. Please help us to prevent the world from abandoning Afghanistan and ask the Taliban to occupy Kabul. Before coming to help us, our time is so limited, maybe only a few days.
On the 15th, she posted a video of escaping in the streets of Kabul on Instagram. At the time, the Taliban was preparing to invade. She was going to collect the money, but the bank was closed. She could only tighten her turban and ran wildly on the street. And shouted, “This is not a horror movie picture, this is the real world Kabul.”
She ran and said, “I still can’t believe this happened. Please pray for us. I once again appeal to the people of this vast world not to be silent. They are here to kill us.” Karimi is in the film. Wiping tears, she said that she has no plans to leave now, and I will not abandon my country at the last moment.
